I've ran across an issue with IE9 that is affecting file downloads. Some clients get a prompt like the first image below and after clicking any option nothing happens. Other clients get a prompt like the 2nd image below and everything works correctly. From my research the 2nd image reflects the new download manager stuff in IE9 but I can't find a setting that control the behavior between image 1 and image 2. The images reflect the same download from the same url. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
I've came across something that seems to be part of the issue. A software package we use changes the iexplore.exe value form 1 to 0 in the FEATURE_MIME_HANDLING key each time the web-based app is opened. I found some info about this key at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749557%28v=ws.10%29.aspx. I am unsure why this setting would break file downloads though.
