Dear friends,

I just upgraded to the newest update of IE6. When i
activated the "Save Target As", a new "File Download"
window came up that i never seen before. This is fine. At
the bottom of the window is the check box that
specifies "always ask before opening this type of file". I
unchecked or cleared the check box, the result turned out
to be not what i want.

How can i undo this action???? I want to go back to the
previous prompting...surely i can do that!!!

Thanx in advance

Francis

Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types. Scroll down to the file
type you want to change. Click on Advance. Check "Confirm open after
download". Click OK. Ok.
