Author Links to documents opening in IE instead of applications

I've created a site using both Publisher and Frontpage. I have several links
to word and Excel documents on different servers in my network. When I test
the site, the links always open up the documents within Internet Explorer.
How can I modify the links so that they open up in the application directly
(Word, Excel, etc).

Nope. Little thing called security. You can zip the file and then make the
zip file a download so they can bring the file down for local use. If you
are intending on this being something big, where you want to store lots of
files online, then you are going about it the wrong way. You want to use
Microsoft Sharepoint. Visit office.microsoft.com and go to Sharepoint.
