I am not sure that you can, without writing an activex control or some specific browser plugin. You have sent the file to the client and now it is the client's PC that will determine what opens it. What if they are on a MAC or Linux? Or if they use a phone or tablet. They won't necessarily be using Windows. You have to be more flexible in web programming.
