This works for my PC, but what if I want to put something out on our company
Intranet. Is there any HTML coding that can force documents to open in the
appropriate office program instead of in an Internet Explorer browser window?

No, there is only client-side solution.

I suffer a problem with the same root:
Users believe IE has hung, and they Alt-Ctrl-Del IE away. What really
happens is that there is a hidden window behind it, asking if you want to
open the Excel file as read only. No warning, no sign, no blinking...

Could I pass an argument from IE to Excel indicating it to open the file as
read-only?

The recommendation about opening the file as read-only must remain as it is
otherways dangerous for occasional users. Any other solution?
Thanks
