i accidentally unchecked the "Always ask before opening this type of file" box when i was downloading a .zip file, and now i cant figure out how to get it checked again. this was the box from the dialogue that asks you whether you want to "open" "save as" or "cancel".
 
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.
