Specify target filename when downloading a binary file from URL ??

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have an IE extension which invokes the typical File Download dialog
simply by telling the browser to navigate to the URL of a downloadable
file (for example: http://www.example.com/some_file.exe ). My question
is this:

Can I specify the target filename (on the hard drive) for IE to use in
the download dialog?? I'd like to be able to suggest
"MyOwnFilename.exe" as the default save-as name when the user clicks
"Save" from that dialog. Is this possible?

Thanks!
