Always ask before opening this type of file...help

[James]

I accidently unchecked "Always ask before opening this
type of file" box and now whenever I click on a file that
is on a webpage, it starts to download directly to my temp
folder. Is there anyway to have the box checked again?
Is there some setup menu where i can do that at?

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to the file type in question and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Check the box for "Confirm open after download".
