Problems downloading files

J

Jason S

This morning when I attempted to download a zip file from
a website, it insisted on downloading to a 'Temporary
Folder'. At the end of the download, the 'file download'
window perpetually flashed on the screen, making it unable
to perform any actions in any other window. After a
restart, a search of the c drive for the file came back
empty. Throughout the day, I've attempted downloading a
number of different files (mostly zips and one program to
help manage disk space), all resulting in the same
problems as stated above. On top of this, my available
disk space has taken a huge dip, despite none of the files
I've tried downloading being really that large. Any kind
of assistance anyone can offer on this extremely
frustrating problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
in advance.

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.


Your other problem may have no connection so try fixing this first.
