Download Dialog Box

L

Liang

When I download files, IE normally pops up the little
dialog box that asks me if I want to save a file to disk
or open it after I download it. Accidentally, I cleared
the box that says, "Always ask before downloading this
type of file" for RAR files. Now whenever I download RAR
files, it automatically opens them, even when I want to
save them on disk for later. How can I revert this
setting?

Thank you.

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.
