Why not just use a command line program that can handle downloads, like wget?

 

Then you get write a batch file that calls wget to download the files.

 

Unless you need to download files specifically through IE?

Thanks a lot for your answer, i don't have any programing skills at all.

Yes i need to download file specifically through IE, that's the company rules. No download managers, No other browsers...

If you absolutely positively must use IE, you can always pass the download URL as a parameter.  Note by default it'll still ask you if you want to save the file though unless you override it in the settings to always download.  Example:

iexplorer http://whatever.com/mydownload.zip

Still much easier to use wget, PowerShell's Net.WebClient or whatever though, such as (off the top of my head):
 

(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://whatever.zip','c:\whatever.zip')

Or

wget http://whatever.com/mydownload.zip
