File download dialog box

A

Alex

Hi,
Last night when I was going to download a zip file, I
accidentally unchecked the box beside "always ask before
opening this type of file" in the "file download dialog
box". Now, whenever I download a zip file, it opens it
automatically and I cannot save it to disk. I was
wondering how can I get the File Download Dialog Box back.

Thank You

Alex Siu

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.
