eliminating "Do you want to open or save" for zip file

[robMerritt]

I have a powershell script that will automatically download zip files from a 3rd party
$username='USERNAME'
$password='password'

$ie = New-Object -ComObject 'internetExplorer.Application'
$ie.Visible= $true

$ie.Navigate("https://WWW.WEBSITE.COM/Secure/Authenticated/login.asp")
while ($ie.Busy -eq $true){Start-Sleep -seconds 1;}

$usernamefield = $ie.Document.getElementByID('UserID')

$usernamefield.value = $username

$passwordfield = $ie.Document.getElementByID('password')
$passwordfield.value = $password

$Link=$ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("input") | where-object {$_.type -eq "submit"}
$Link.click()

$ie.Navigate("https://WWW.WEBSITE.COM/Secure/Authenticated/listing.asp")

Start-Sleep -Second 2


if ( (get-date).DayOfWeek -eq 'Monday')
{
$ie.Navigate("https://WWW.WEBSITE.COM/Secure/Auth...0.44\Everlink-FTS\TCUFP\OutTrans\B011SEA1.ZIP")
