[mike]

Does anybody know how to get this option checked again if
you have accidentaly unchecked it.
Option when dl :"Always ask before opening this type of
file check box"

 

[Jon Kennedy]

Open My Computer, then go to Tools...Folder Options...File Types. Scroll
down to the file type in question. Then click Advanced (or Edit depending
on your version of Windows) and put a check besides "Confirm open...", click
Okay, click Okay.

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.
