Downloads always open. Cant "save as".

[Guest]

When downloading a file from the internet, files are opened in a window. No
dialog box, no download prompts, no option to just save the file to a
location on the computer.
Ive checked all the settings in the Tools > Internet Options. Cant find
anything to change or reset this.

Any Ideas?

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.

Thanks alot Alan. That did the trick. Seems some other program had hijacked
the .zip extension. After restoring to defaults all things worked again.

Thanks again.
