Trusted File Types

[Jason McVicker]

Whenever I click a hyperlink to a .zip, .rar, or .exe, it
opens automatically. It didn't before, but I
accidentally clicked the 'don't ask this' box. How do I
reset my trusted file types so I don't automatically open
these files?

appropriate file extension, highlight it and click Advanced. Check off
