I accidently made my internet explorer automaticly
download files when I click on the link without it asking
be if I wanted to save it to disc or open it. Right now,
when I click on it, it automaticly downloads and opens. I
know I can right click the link, but it's annoying. How do
I change it back to asking me? I've reset defaults in
Internet Options>Advanced & Programs.
 
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.
