"Always Ask Before Downloading..." Problem

[Bryan]

I accidently unchecked the box when downloading a .zip
file. I need to save .zip files to the hard drive in
order to unzip them. If they open, WinZip cannot find
the .zip file. Does anyone know how to get back to the
box that says "Open, Save to Disk, etc."

Thanks.

Hi Bryan,

Does anyone know how to get back to the
box that says "Open, Save to Disk, etc."

Open Windows Explorer.

Tools, Folder Options, File Types, ZIP, Advanced. Check [ ] Confirm
open after download.

Kind regards

Like I said before, I have the same exact problem. I
went to download a .zip file and I unchecked the box.
Now, I am having the same problems.

Please help us with this problem.

Your last message posted but the answer was already there before you
posted.

Try this:

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.
