Dialog box to open/save an office web document does not appear

[Dave F]

Normally when selecting a Web link to an Office
documents, a dialog box appears prompting the user to
open or save the document. At the bottom of the same
dialog box is a checkbox and statement "Always ask before
opening this type of file".

When the check is removed, the dialog box will no longer
appears the next time the form is accessed through the
browser. However, when the user attempts to save the
document, another dialog box appears asking that the user
login to the Web server.

Can anyone tell me how to reactivate the dialog box
prompting the user to open or save the document.

Thank you for any assistance that is provided.

Dave,
You have to set this option for each file type and the route to Folder
options> File types will be slightly different, depending on your OS:

From Windows Explorer> View> Folder options> File types
OR Tools> Folder options> File types
OR Ctrl Panel> Folder options then File Types. Select [file type]> Advanced.
Put a check by "Confirm open after download."
You should then get the "Open or Save" dialog for each download.
