IE 6 Not directicting downloads

[Guy]

WHen attempting to download ANY file using IE 6 and Win ME
the file appears to download but I do not get the pop up
asking me where I want to save it to. As a result, once
the download is complete I cannot find where it downloaded
to. I have performed all the proper searches and the file
is nowhere to be found. How can I get IE 6 to once again
give me the SAVE TO box?

Do you really mean ANY file?
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.

(There are exceptions, like .exe files)
