No File Download Box

H

Harvey

Using the new IE 6.0 to download a comma separated
variable file format from the Yahoo web site, IE opens the
file using Excel on the web site without displaying the
usual "File Dialog Box". There use to be an option in the
old IE tools to click on a box that would "Always ask
before Opening this type of file". I can not find that
option under Tools/Internet Option or under My Folders
when clicking on the My Computer Icon.

That option has always been in Explorer, not IE.

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.
