How to serve a certain file format in IIS6/2003I am having problems serving a file through http called myFile.vb_
I want to launch the file, but make it unknown to the browser. But it has to be known as a vb script file, because it launch some local file access functionality. Weird, I know. Does anyone know how to teach IIS 6.0 to execute securely a file of this extension? Thanks for any guidance. If it's going to be execute on the client side, then it's depend on the MIME
type and default action defined at client side. For IIS, it just base on the server configured MIME list to serve the file. -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards, Bernard Cheah http://www.microsoft.com/iis/ http://www.iiswebcastseries.com/ http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/ "My Last Sigh" <mylasts***@comcast.net> wrote in message news:ctWdncX6xrLC3BffRVn-pw@comcast.com... >I am having problems serving a file through http called myFile.vb_ > > I want to launch the file, but make it unknown to the browser.
