Download Save to option

[Guest]

I did something to change the option of where files are to be saved to and I
cant find any of my files that were downloaded.
everything is going into a temp file, then if a zip file it automaticly
opens in winzip ,etc tried using save target as but that saves the
getfile.html instead of target file

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".
