Opening networked documents in IE shows blank page - asp.net

On IE9 this works - but most of our staff aren't using the latest version.
We have a document library page that is pointing to various files in a networked folder.
This folder is accessible by everyone, and they do not have to use log on credentials.
When clicking on the link to the file, it pens a new web page, in which the file will be displayed.
Unfortunately, on IE's below 9, the web page remains blank, and no amount of tinkering (that I've tried) has given us access to is.
The link goes like this: file://intranet/documentation/Sedation%20protocol.doc
This is very urgent; and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
We have moved this shared folder to a new server (From win server 2003 to win serer 2008), which is when th problems started.

Have found a 'solution' to this problemo:
Go to Internet Properties on Control Panel, then Security tab.
On the Local intranet tab,Click on Sites.
While there, untick `Automatically detect intranet network' and tick the remaining 3 boxes.
From there, Click on Trusted sites and untick Enable Protected Mode
That should sort it out.
EDIT: It seems as though some IE's still have a problem, so:
Open IIS7, and create a new virtual folder that links to the physical folder. After that, enable directory browsing on the Virtual Folder.
From there, its simply linking to the document in the Virtual Folder.

No Icons in Kentico Admin Page

I'm very new to Kentico and just started using Kentico 11 for my companies CMS and have run into a lot of issues...most of which I've figured out by trial and error. The issue that comes up most often for me is that each time I create a new website with the wizard in the Admin page, no icons appear in either the dashboard or the applications list or on the top menu bar. It doesn't look like anyone has had this issue before, and I'm curious about how to fix it. I'm using IE 11.
Here is a screenshot:
As you can see from the screenshot, no icons appear anywhere in the dashboard, menu, or menu options. Please help with this issue.
these icons come from the font /App_Themes/Default/Fonts/Core-icons.woff. Check if it is loaded correctly.
A couple things can cause this:
Most common, Kentico caches static objects pretty heavy, so try a simple CTRL + F5 to see if it refreshes things.
If you have not granted access to the user running the website (granted on the app pool), there could be permissions issues with IIS not being able to get to the files it needs. Typically you grant at least read and execute permissions at the /CMS level to the IIS_IUSRS user in the file system on your machine.
Least common, the files weren't added during the install. To check this, run the installer again but in a different location like your Desktop, then spot check/compare a couple directories: /cms/cmsscripts and /cms/app_themes for any differences.
Thank you for all your help. I found the answer and it was very basic and simple. For me the problem was Internet Explorer options not being enabled.
Talking with Kentico support is what tipped me off to this fix:
In IE 11, Go to Internet Options > Security Tab > Click Custom level > Scroll down until you get to Downloads > Under Font download check Enabled.
That was it. Like I said very simple, but on a development server where everything is disabled, it made a huge difference in performance of the Kentico interface.
I hope this helps someone else.

Dnn Rich Text(Text editor) template manager doesn't load

I've been working with DNN for the past weeks and now it's finnaly time to make my project to the production server, but I found an issue.
In the default Rich Text we have a "Template" option, witch we can save html presets, saving them works fine. But when I try to open the list of templates, the small popup opens and stays forever loading, no error displayed.
Ethernal loading image
I believe it's a config issue, since it works fine on my development eviroment. The server is running Windows Server 2008 R2(so, no IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool user to give permissions). Also I already gave permission to IIS_IUSRS and to IUSR.
If someone could help me, that would be awesome =)
Best Regards
do other dialogs fail as well, or just this one?
My guess is that the folder, which contains the templates, doesn't exist - or it does exist, but DNN doesn't know about it. So make sure you have it and that the the DNN files are synced with the DB (in the admin > files section)

.ASPX pages markups are opening in web browser

When I double click on .aspx pages in my web application project in VS2010, instead of showing the mark up in the ide the .aspx pages are opening in the web browser as shown below. The same is happening when I run my application it opens all the .aspx pages in the web browser along the application url i.e., http://localhost123456/default.aspx. I have to close all the other pages except the http://localhost123456/default.aspx to run/ test my application. Not sure what would cause this to happen. I am not able to find any solutions so far, any help is appreciated. I used the option View Markup (Rightclick on aspx page -> view Markup) to see the markup for now.
Update
As per Mike's answer I checked the options under Open with... and I do have a Internet Explorer (Default) set as shown in the following image. Not sure how did it got there.
Deleting the Internet Explorer (Default) option might be cumbersome if I have lot of .aspx pages , if there is a way to remove this option at once for all .aspx pages rather than right clicking on each and every .aspx and remove it that would be great.
As per #JB King suggestion I did checked the file properties and all the .aspx files are set with Opens with: Microsoft Visual Studio option as shown it the image below.
Right-click any .aspx file in the project, select Open With...
In the screen that pops up, select Web Form Editor, then click the Set as Default button.
Not sure how you got Internet Explorer as an option here, but if it is there, you can just delete it. It's not applicable for loading the aspx from disk. Rather, to see the rendered page in IE, you'd do View in Browser or Browse With... (in which you can set your default browser, as well).
Your address bar shows you're loading files directly from disk. This won't work. ASP.NET is not lilke static HTML. ASP.NET applications must be run from within a webserver. Install IIS and ensure ASP.NET is installed and configured, or use the Debugging Webserver (IIS Express) in Visual Studio.
If you look at the properties of the file, there should be a line of Opens with: that is where you want to have Visual Studio rather than Internet Explorer as the issue is with which programs are mapped to what file extension. Microsoft instructions if you want those as specific steps to do.

Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/html (IIS)

I get the following warning in Chrome: "Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/html." This happens when running the website in the browser from IIS 8 (on Windows 8). If I run the website from Visual Studio (2010) using the File System I have no issues (meaning that the CSS has been applied to the website and the website is viewed as expected).
I've read through some posts on this issue, but have not yet been able to resolve it. If someone can give me some suggestions, that would be great.
Actually, I just found out that in my case it happened to be a rights (permissions)-issue. I had a look at the MIME-types before in IIS and they we're set accordingly, that is for CSS set to "text/css". When I added the Users-group to have permissions on the website-folder to have "Read & execute, List folder contents and Read"-permissions set to Allow, it solved the issue.
Conclusion
It may be that due to using a different root websites-folder for IIS that you're CSS "cannot be accessed" properly. Though you would think that the problem is with you're MIME type settings in IIS, it may be that the User-group (you probably need to add the IIS_IUSRS-group as well if you haven't already) wasn't added to the default root folder of where you're websites are located and thus experience this issue.
Follow these steps:
1. Open turn windows features on or off
2. Select and enable Internet Inforamtion Services
3. Select and enable World Wide Web Services
4. Select and enable Common HTTP Features
5. Enable Static Content
6. Press ok
This was a permission issue for myself. I have a problem with new projects my company shares and it allowing my app pool permissions. I have to go in and add the my-pc\Users group and tell it to trickle down the permissions, and give it full rights. Even when I thought I did this to get me access to the page, the JS / CSS files didn't have that group. After re adding it again, the CSS and JS files loaded up and this message was gone from the debugger.
In your configuration file add the css mimetype (text/css), it worked for me..
adding "AddType text/css .css" to my .htaccess in root folder worked for me.
Similar to pjdevries, in my case, this was caused by the inetpub folder being copied or recreated on another volume by the sysadmin. The solution was to grant the local users group execute, read and list permissions to the new inetpub folder

What's the best way to style the default virtual directory listing in SSRS?

I have SSRS 2008 R2 installed with a custom security sublayer. When logging into the client side area of SSRS via the /ReportServer url, SSRS returns a basic virtual directory listing as seen here:
Obviously this looks rubbish for a client to see, but I'm currently at a loss for how to tart it up and apply my own branding and styling to it. How do I add header and footer images, other standard navigation, css etc to make it look like our corporate website?
Suggestions gratefully received, many thanks.
The actual server page is not meant to be changed...you want to go to http://yourURL/Reports and change the actual report manager. The report manager has a CSS file that can be modified.
Report manager style sheet is available in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Styles
