As I'm reading it this is normal. The file format may be known but the file itself is unknown - it could pose a security risk. The user is always given the option to ignore the download, open it immediately or save it for later (or for virus checking). What behavior are you seeing in the other browsers?

RE: Viewing files in another server/directory outside CF server
The final user does not need access to that folder, just CF. Let's say I want to access a file C:\docs\test.doc, but the user doesn't have access to C:\docs. CF has access to it, and the user has access to a CF application in the webroot. Create a file download.cfm under the webroot somewhere and pot the following code in it: cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment; filename=test.doc cfcontent type=application/msword file= C:\docs\test.doc deletefile=No This should enable the users to download the file by calling download.cfm.

This has nothing to do with CF's permissions to access files, or your web
server's permissions either. You are providing links directly to files, and
your users would need to be able to resolve UNC paths directly to those
files from their workstations for those links to work.

You can allow direct access via UNC path to the server in question, although you will also have to ensure that your clients can resolve the NetBIOS name correctly (via WINS, LMHOSTS or AD DNS) and that your clients have network logon rights to that machine and read access to the share in question.
