Always ask before opening this file type

[Phillip]

I was downloading a bunch of songs in zip format and i
accidently clicked the box for "always ask before opening
this file type" now it tries to open up the zip and
says "file not found". I can't right click and "save
target as" so i would like to know how to set this
feature back to default or remove it? thanks
