when i recenlty downloaded service pack 2 i noticed some
new message when i'm downloading files in explorer. It
aksed me if i would like to always open these types of
files (zip) automaticly. I clicked it by mistake and now
it's really anoying. I tried to search in internet
options but didnt find anything. I even clicked in one
option: "automatic promting for file downloads" to
True/allow (whatever) but that didnt help.

Where do i disable this NaStY option???
 
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.
