No download dialogue?

A

Andreas C

When I attempt to download program files (.exe), the
download dialogue (where I should be asked to save or
open), doesn't show. I have this problem _only_ when
downloading exe-files, so I guess it could be fixed with
some settings.
I have been having the problem for some time now and it
wasn't fixed neither when upgrading to Internet Explorer
6.0 from 5.5, nor when downloading the Service Pack 1.

Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

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.
