Major Downloading Help

When I try to download something in .zip format, it doesn't quite work like
it's supposed to. After I click "Download this file", the little download box
doesn't pop up like it used to. Instead, at the bottom of the web page I'm
viewing, it says "Downloading from site", and when it's done, the folder
containing what I've downloaded pops up. Usually, this folder would be on the
desktop, but now I can't find it. When I tried to find the folder that the
downloaded folder was in, it was something called mx somthing, and it
contained pictures from an online myspace group I'm a member of. How can I
get it back to the way it was? Thank you.
 
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.
