Downloading problems

[Razi]

When i downloaded stuff off the web it used to have a
popup window that asked me where i wanted to save the
file or open from current location. But now all of a
sudden its not doing that anymore. When i click
something to download, nothing happpens, but if i wait
long enough, the download will show up in a folder and be
downloaded to a temp folder. How do i get it back so i
can choose where to download the file and also see the
progress on the download??

You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.
