SYMPTOMS

When you click a link to a file on a Web page that has the "Cache-Control: No Store" header, you may be unable to open or run the file, and you may receive the following error message:
file name
Cannot find this file.
Please verify that the correct path and file name are given.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the "Cache-Control: No Store" header prevents the file from being stored in the local Temporary Internet Files folder.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, save this file to disk before you try to open or run it.
