Not Prompted to Run or Save File Downloaded from Web Page

[Vince]

Hi, I am using internet explorer version 6.0 on a IBM, i
have been going a site for a while now and to download a
file from the site you have to click "download this
File", before i use to click on it and it would
automaticly ask me wether i want to "open From Current
Location" or "Save As.". Now It just automaticly opens
from current location, it doesnt prompt me at all, and
you can't right click on the site to say save target as.
I was wondering wat the problem is, and how do i change
it to the way it was before.

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to the file type in question and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Check the box for "Confirm open after download".
