Can not download bank info in .qif format

[Sunshine]

When I prepare to download my bank account information I
get this message.
"When you click on 'Download', your browser may display
the information directly on the browser instead of
prompting you to Save/Open the file. This means that your
browser is not setup to understand the 'File/MIME Type' of
the file you are trying to download. To resolve this
issue, follow the steps provided by your operating system
vendor."
When I try to download in .qif (Quicken) it does exactly
that. It displays the information on the screen. I can't
seem to find any "steps provided" on this web site. I
would appreciate any help. Thanks, Sunshine

Set this up for your .qif files.

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.
