IE annoying automatic downloading

[Zmago]

I have IE 6 wit sp1 on win XP. When i wanna download .zip or .exe file it
doesn't ask me where to save or anything else, it just start downloading and
in on the bottom of the IE on the left it shows that file is downloading...
How to disable this?? Please help me.

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.

I already did that... I have 3rd party downloader installed and it doesn't
even recognize when IE starts automatic downloading... it doesn't happen
every time... but only on the web site where download starts trought java
script.
