i want to get the little window that has the little box
that says "always ask before opening this type of file"
back. Whenever i download anything that i can't right--
click and save-as, the file gets downloaded to some temp
folder, never to be seen again, and i've looked high and
low for them. someone please help me
 
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.
