URGENT--Need to supress "Do you want to Open or save this file" for (CSV AND DOC FILES) in IE 8, IE 9 on Win XP and Win 7

In our Task in Salesforce we generate one CSV file and one doc file after one button click on salesforce screen. we need to download these two documents without the popup message "Do you want to Open or save this file"

can this be achieved using Apex Coding/Visualforce page .This happens on google chrome and we need that behaviour in IE  8,9 on Win XP and Win 7 .Kindly let me know

Thanks
