Download window - Always ask before opening this type of file

[Michael]

When I was about to download a file, you know how it comes
up with a window saying do you want to open, save etc this
file, I had accidently checked the box that says don't
show this message again.

Now everytime I click to download a file it automatically
starts downloading into a temporary folder.

How do I turn back that prompt where it asks if I want to
open, save etc this file.

Thanks

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.
