WHen a file is being downloaded, instead of giving me the
option to open it, or save it, it now automatically
downloads to my Temporary Internet Files.
I would like to know if there is a way to revert IE back
to its former behavior, so i can save my files where I
want.

Thanks for any help,

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.
