Disable run option

Hi

I am currently offering a download of an executable.
This is linked directly through HTML:
<a href='/downloads/install.exe'>DO WNLOAD</a>

Now, we have some problems when a user clicks "RUN" and not "SAVE".

Is it possible to disable this run option?

TIA

No. This is done on the client side browser, so you won't have any
control over this.

A simple example is if when using an option type tag, and the two options are Yes and No. If YES is selected - enable a field to use the M$ Datepicker.

I've been looking all over and I can't seem to find what ought to be simple. I need to disable a drop down when a checkbox is checked, and enable it when same checkbox is unchecked. I've found any number of scripts to disable / enable a drop down but they are all made to work with 2 different buttons, radio group selections, etc. I can't seem to come up with one that can toggle off a single checkbox.

I am working on a Memory Footprint Reduction project. I came across an idea to disable all printf statements so that less memory is required. In addition, when there is no single printf statement, the printf library will not be linked, so it further reduces the executable size. Is there an easy way to disable printf in a large project? In my project, we have thousands of C & C++ files. They don't have a common included common header. ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
