Change Default download location

[Guest]

Hi,

I use IE 6 in my machine. When i download any files from internet, it
automatically saves the file to temporary folder. It does n't ask me where i
want to save. Can you please tell me how i should change the configuration,
so that Internet Explorer asks me the save location when i download any file.
Thanks in advance

Regards
Venkat

To get the download dialog box, enable the "confirm open after download"
option for that file type:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Then click [Tools] [Folder Options] [File Types]
3. Scroll down to locate the file type.
4. Highlight the file type (example :"PPT Microsoft PowerPoint
Presentation")
5. Click the "Advanced" button.
6. Enable the option "confirm open after download".
