how to show prompt when downloading files (.zip) again

[Rudy]

I accidentally un-tick the "dont ask again for this file
types" option (or something which has same meaning, i got
a weak memory), and now when downloading .zip files, IE
dont ask me again where to keep the file, instead it open
after the file downloaded. is there anyway to enable the
prompt again? sorry for my bad english.

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to the file type in question and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Check the box for "Confirm open after download".

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.
