I want to save not open!

[Juan]

By mistake I told IE 6 not to ask me again whether to
open or save zip files and now they will be always
automatically opened. How can I revert to the old
settings so I can save them?

Juan,

See if this helps.

Start | Settings | Folder Options | File Types (or open Windows Explorer and go to View | Folder Options | File Types). Scroll down to the file type in question and click the Edit button and set up whatever you want in there.

Make sure there is a check in the box for 'Confirm open after download' if you don't want something to automatically open but want to save it instead.

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.

Please make sure you have the latest security updates installed from Windows
