Always ask before download

D

David E

I accidentally unselected the "Always ask before
downloading this type of file" when downloading a zip
file. Now when I click on a link to download a zip file,
it automatically opens it. How do I disable that now? I
tried to look under the internet options, but couldnt find
anything.
Anyone?

It is not in IE or Internet Options.

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.
