"open as" dialogue box

[Guest]

Hi!

How do you re-enable the open as dialogue box in win xp sp2 if you have
once checked the box to "not ask"?

Hi Johan,

Which dialog box are you referring to? The one in IE?

thanks,

Harlin Seritt

Yes!

When you click on (for example) a *.csv file from the internet. Then you'd
get a dialouge that says : "do you want to open or save this file?" How do
you re-enable this box if a user has cheched the "Always ask before opening
box ?" Is there a policy setting for this - so that we could remove the
checkbox?

Hi Johan,

See if this helps:

Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types/[File Type in
Question]/Advanced. Put a check in the box that reads: Confirm open after
download.

Enable Always Ask Before Opening... (Line 164)

Unfortunately it doesen't! (the checkbox is already checked)

This box only affectcs whats happends after the download is finished. - My
question was how to re-enable the dialogue box occuring before the open/save
of a file from an internet location.

But thanx anyway! ;-)
