What the browser does with a file is up to its MIME type settings which you can not amend from the web. If you have control of the local computers - i.e. part of an intranet - then you may be able to change their settings. Otherwise the closest you can get is to send the file either with an unknown MIME type or as a .ZIP file for example.
