          I had the same issue trying to download an XML file instead of opening it in IE. One solution is to use a different browser (such as Chrome), but I didn't feel like installing another browser just to download one file. My workaround was to create a .TXT file containing the text like the following:
          File
          I then renamed the file to change the file extension to .HTML instead of .TXT, and double-clicked to open it in IE.
          In the web page that opens, I could right-click on the File link and select "Save target as...".
