Afternoonshift

I am on win XP Home with IE 6. When i click on a link to download a file, I
am not asked whether to "Save" or "Open" the file. How can i change this so
that the dialog box appears? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

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".
