WebBrowser + that annoying File Download box...

please excuse the cross-posting, but i'm getting desperate....

using vb6 + .vbd's (user docs)...

in order to properly view .vbd's on an end user's machine, the user must
register the .dll containing the .vbd - fine, no problem. i'm trying to
detect if a .vbd can be navigated to (checking to see if the .dll is not
registered properly, for example), but the issue is that when trying to
WebBrowser.Navigate to the file on the machine, all that pops up is the
dreaded File Download box.

i've tried Silent = True, i'm handling EVERY WebBrowser event, and there
seems to be nothing i can do to prevent it from appearing...

any suggestions welcome...
