Thank you, however, I have also tried the following commands

window.location.href = 'file:///c:/bin/the.exe'

and

<% Response.Redirect 'file://C:/bin/the.exe'%>

neither of them work; both with give me the File Download dialog. What I am trying to accomplish is running an exe on the client from an Intranet HTML or ASP page. It should be real simple the User click's on a Hot-Link and the local application runs from the client computer. Any ideas?
