I've got a nuisance bug that I'd like to squash. The problem is that every time I download a file, IE doesn't ask me to save the file, it just downloads the data then opens a viewer to view the file. This is especially iritating on things like zip files that I want to always D/L. I think what has happened is that IE has been told to open a file on d/l and never ask what to do again. I can't seem to find the option in IE that will allow me to turn this feature off. Can anyone help me out? TIA.

can you do right click and save target as?

open My Computer
click Tools | Folder Options | Files Types

Scroll down to ZIP/WinZip File and highlight it.
click Edit or Advanced
there should be a tick in the "Confirm open after download" box
click OK, then CLose.




hopefully that should do it.
