No longer have save file box

[Curious George]

I have internext explorer 6 SP1. Problem recently I no longer have the
option when I clic a .exe or .zip file to save it. Instead the browser goes
to a new window with the x in the upper left hand corner of the window.
What can I do to restore it so when I do click a .exe or .zip file then
it'll ask me to save the file or open it or cancel.

thank you kindly

I have the same problem- did you get a fix for this??

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.

Hi James,

Open Windows Explorer. Tools, Folder Options, File Types, ZIP (or RAR or
whatever), Advanced. Check [x] Confirm open after download.
