download option

[Guest]

Okey, I tried to download a zip file. The window with the options 'save file as...' and 'open' appears. I accidentally click the little check box at the bottom that says 'do not ask this question when downloading this file type'. I dont notice it at the time and i hit 'ok'. How do i change it back so that it asks me what to do?

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.
