Download Box

[Jonathan Smith]

You know how when you download a file, it says "Always ask
before opening this file" Well I accidently unchecked that
on a zip file so no it automatically downloads zip files
to a temporary folder... how do I fix that?

Thanks a lot, I didn't even thinking of looking in
explorer, just IE. Non-geek moment... and I'm a geek
