Theoretically it should be controlled by
Content-Disposition header 
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2183.txt
But we never know with MS products...

from experience I know that 
response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control",
"must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=\"" + fileName +"\"");

causes browsers to offer save/open dialogs.

PS: If this is a typical day on planet earth, humans will add fifteen million 
tons of carbon to the atmosphere, destroy 115 square miles of tropical 
rainforest, create seventy-two miles of desert, eliminate between forty to one 
hundred species, erode seventy-one million tons of topsoil, add 2,700 tons of 
CFCs to the stratosphere, and increase their population by 263,000
