CFlocation them to a .reg file and instruct the users to click "Open from this location". Spending time to develop a control to do this behind the scenes will end up being a waste of your time, (IMHO at least). Regardless of which method you use, you are still going to get a dialog box popup due to security restrictions, so you will have to instruct the user how to handle this situation. Might as well use the "Open from this location" method as it will take a matter of minutes rather than hours to develop the scripting solution.
