I hope this is a simply one. :D
I have XP, IE 6
And somehow the other day i selected the option, in IE to 'Always Open File' or whatever it is, either way when i click a download link, it starts downloading it to open, as apposed to prompting to 'Save' to a location, i know i can go right click 'Save target as' but anyone know how to get it back so it prompts me?
thanks

I think a setting in the "security" tab needs to be changed. Not Sure which though.
But, you could just reset your IE settings...
(>tools>internet options>programs tab>reset web settings)
Same prob here, resetting wont work
EDIT:
uninstalling and reinstalling it wont work either
Hmm, maybe check your folder options.
Open a windows folder(not IE).
Click tools>folder options>file types.
Check/change the hyper text transfer protocol?
Man, this is bugging me. I know I've learned the answer to this problem before. My memory fails me tho.
got it, goto zip, checkmark the top box in advanced
always confirm before opening or something, ty ty
yeah dont ya hate it when you cant find a setting you know you've used before. :)Quote:
