"Always ask before opening file type" - How to re-enable?

[JM]

I accidentally turned off the "Always ask before opening
this file type" when I was downloading a ZIP file. How do
you turn it back on?

Thanks,
JM

Try this:
1. Open Control Panel, open Folder Options
2. Click the File Types tab, select a specific file type (for example,
WinZip Files) in the Registered file types box, and then click
Advanced .
3. Click to select the "Confirm open after download" check box, and then
click OK
