Help, downloading problem

[Jason]

Using IE6, suddenly, when I try to download a zip file, it automatically trys to open it, rather than save to file. I for the life of me, cannot find where the setting (if there is one) is to change it back. When I click on a download (such as a zip), it just goes throught the download process, and immediatly opens the file, which is blank. At this point, I now have to right click the file, and save target as. Anyone with any input, would be greatly appreciated!

In Windows Explorer, click TOOLS menu|FOLDER OPTIONS|FILE TYPES tab and
locate the entry for .zip...

Click on ADVANCED and check the box that reads "confirm open after download."
