Downloading with IE Problem. Plz Help

[Jennifer]

For some reason when I click an item to download...
Instead of giving me the box that will say Open, Save
as , and Cancel, it automatically opens. This is becoming
annoying cause now I have to always right click and save
as. Can anyone tell me where I can get this feature
changed?

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.
