Launch exe files directly in a browser

Is there a way to launch an executable file from a web page cleanly without showing the “Open, Save, Cancel...” dialog?

Thanks for your answer ;-)

    No, it's not possible, and fortunately so!

    we can, because of the browser's internal file associations: let me explain
    create a document with notepad empty.txt create a link in your WEB page to empty.txt
    and when you click the link notepad will open.
    This only works on widely used applications that are mentioned in Explorer
    in the "Folder Options" tab 'File types".
    But beware, this is a wide security vulnerability ...

    The dialog box is only the progress window for the download, so with Internet Explorer not, otherwise you use another software to manage your downloads.
