Are you looking for a server-side solution to this undesirable browser
behavior?  If so, there really isn't one. Internet Exploiter seems to
put a higher priority on file extensions than on MIME types when
opening documents, so if it ends in .exe, there's nothing your server
can say that will convince the browser to not try to run it, if that's
what it's configured to do.

Microsoft's browsers, last I checked, will even ignore .txt extensions
and try to render a page that looks like it contains markup, which
really pisses me off when I'm trying to make raw PHP code available
for web viewing.

Bottom line is that it's a client configuration, so you're pretty much 
S.O.L.
