If I understand right you have a link to a .txt file and you want the file
to open in Notepad rather than the browser. To do that the text file needs
to be sent to the browser with a Content-Disposition: Attachment HTTP
header, like this:
Content-Disposition: Attachment; filename="YourTextFilename.txt"
To send an HTTP header you'll have to generate the text file on demand. So
for example, create a "downloadtextfile.aspx" file that you pass a filename
to (downloadtextfile.aspx?filename=YourTextFilename.t xt), and the OnLoad
handler does something like this:
Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" +
Request.QueryString["filename"] + "\"");
Response.Write( /* file contents go here */ );
