how to stop downloads going automatically in temp folder?

[Guest]

Hiya. Whenever I try to download a ZIP file, it tries to automatically
download it to a temporary folder, then it opens the ZIP file automatically.
Is there any way to get the Save/Open dialog box back whenever you click on a
link that goes to a ZIP file?

Thanks!
Dat

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.
