Download help

[Guest]

Just now I download a winzip file and I accidentally check the box on the
download
dialog that said said "Don't ask when download this file" (Something like
this)

Now every time I download a winzip file, it directly download to my Temp
folder.

How am I going to reset this setting??

Thanks in advance

Best regards,

Pop

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.

I have a user with the same type of problem, only in Excel 2002 SP3. She
unchecked the "Always ask..." option in the download confirmation dialog box
when saving a .csv file. However, the "Confirm Open After Downloading"
option is still checked in under Folder Options for .csv files, and they are
set to open with Excel. I can't find any other way to restore the download
confirmation dialog box. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

BTW, she's running XP SP2 and IE 6.0.2900 SP2.

Thanks

There are some exceptions to my stock reply.
