IE question, probably simple to answer, lol

[Vikki]

Um, I reinstalled IE6, & other Xp updates, & now when I
download something into my computer through IE, now
instead of saving the folder into my computer like usual,
it is making me unzip the files to get them into my
computer..

I had this problem once before, but can't remember how I
fixed it, lol

I do not like the zip files to want to install straight
away, for obvious reasons

In Explorer, not IE but Windows Explorer, select Tools, Folder Options and
go to the File Types tab. Scroll down in the list of file types to find
the entry for zip files. Select the zip filetype and click the Advanced
button. There make sure that "Confirm open after download" is checked. OK
and Apply your changes.
