How do I turn back on the "Always ask before opening this
type of file" check box for file type *.zip. I turned it
off the other day, and now want it back on.

Click to expand...

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".
