Files open automatically

[Nick]

For some filetypes when I click on them, the file
downloads into my temporary folder then opens the file
automatically. Before when I clicked on a file I would
get the internet download box that says either Open or
Save. Is there anyway to get this box back?

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.
