title: How can I prevent IE from opening supported text or image file types directly in the browser window
body: <p>I have a web application that uses a browser redirect to open a resource and I would like to have the native application open the resource (image or text file) instead of the file rendering directly within the browser.</p>
  
  <p>The server is running IIS 7.5 and the client is Windows 7 running IE 9 or 10. Note that I have already ensured that file/program associations within the browser are not set to Internet Explorer.<br>
  For example, the .txt file extension should be opening with Notepad versus IE. This seems like a relatively simple request although I cannot find any reference on how to change it.</p>
