How do I enable the Always ask before opening this type of file checkbox?

[Sir M.]

I just would like to ask how to enable the "Always ask
before opening this type of file" checkbox whenever I
download a .ZIP file. I am using MSIE 6.0 and Win98. Any
assistance will be highly appreciated. God bless...

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.
