Educate me a little bit about getting information about the file that
is about to be downloaded. I want to accept the same name that would
be displayed in the FileName box of the FileOpen dialog. What event
do I respond to in order to get this information, and how do I
retreive it (the filename that is)?

The dialog would get the file name from the Content-Disposition HTTP
header (see KB article KB260519) or from the URL itself if there is no
such header. Getting the file name from the URL is easy - see
InternetCrackUrl. Getting the header is non-trivial, you need to be
sufficiently familiar with C++ and COM to correctly implement
IBindStatusCallback interface.

Would getting the file name from URL be sufficient for you?

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
