this would be a javascript thing, youd put this in your html on the page
where you wanted the exe to pop up:
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
<!--
window.open('http://www.mydomain.com/blah.exe');
//-->
</SCRIPT>
hope that works for you....
if it doesn't do the trick you could always find a page that did what it was
you were trying to accomplish and view the source (:
