href and download

Hi All, I'm trying to create a page where users can download files from. What i have discovered was that if you have a certain file type associated to a certain program and there is an href to download that type of file, what will happen is that it will automatically open the file with the associated program. for example: if i have mp3's asssociated to winamp...if there is a link <a href="song.mp3">download song</a> and i click it, it will open my winamp player and start playing the song rather than popping up the save as window so that i can save the file. my questions are: Is this discovery correct? and is there a way to prevent it from opening the associated program but rather popping up the save as window? If anyone has any clue please let me know! thanks! ===== Heidi Belal ICQ# 32127109 A bus stops at a bus station. A train stops at a train station.
