Download choices

[Guest]

Hello

When I download a Zip file it goes directly to my temporary internet file
folder. I would like to have the option to select a different location at
download time. How can I change the system so that I will be prompted with a
save dialogue?

Thanks

Hi Shayne

You might try the following and see if it helps:

Courtesy of Alan Edwards -

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.

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to the file type in question and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Check the box for "Confirm open after download".
