How to use the address bar to directly download an app or file

Hey guys, here's my issue:
I'm running windows XP pro SP2 on my macbook pro, and during boring lectures / spare time I play counterstrike source.

The Steam icon sometimes drops from my taskbar, and ending the process and opening steam SOMETIMES doesn't fix it.

What DOES fix it is this file:

steam://support/?Issues=Background*

However, because its hosted directly from the steam servers, it basically gives me an instance of the application.

I don't feel like hunting through my temp files for it. I know theres an address bar java command that allows you to download a file, like in my situation. Anyone help?

Thanks ;)
