i need help

[Ian]

I cleared the "Always ask before opening this type of
file" box on zip files so everytime i click on a zip file
it starts downloading it instantly without asking where
to save it. Somebody knows how to check the box again to
stop this problem?

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".
