Does anyone know how I can disable the built in download prompt when Internet Explorer 6.0 attempts to open exe files? Perhaps a registry setting change

What do you want to do with the .exe files?
Many will not run from their current location. You have to download them to use them.

In addition, any automation added to downloading files opens up large security holes in your system.

You may beable to automate the download process if you use a download manager.
