Clicking on filenames saves them instead of opening up the "Save As" dialog

Howdy,

I did something inadvertantly that causes files, such as *.zip files, to be downloaded immediately without
prompting me with the "Save As" dialog box. I would like to restore the default behavior and be in
control of the saving location again.

Any suggestions appreciated,

Jon
 
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.

Alan, thanks for that information; it worked flawlessly.

Thanks again,

Jon.
