Downloading Files

[Tom]

This has happened several times before to me but each time
i forget how i fixed it. I changed something by accident
and now when i download a file it does not come up with a
box askin
Open, Save, (something else), Cancel
Instead it just starts as a temp file.
How do i change it back?

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".
