IE allows download when link to document is pasted into browser but other browsers ask for creds

All,

I have noticed, IE prompts for download options when the link to document is pasted into browser but other browsers, like Chrome and Firefox, and Edge all ask for credentials.

I know this is a flaw with IE but my director is concerned that it is allowing directory browsing.

Can anyone confirm or deny this directory browsing worry?

Does anyone know why this is happening and only with IE? If so, is there a way to stop it from doing this from the server side?
