Ever since I downloaded SP2 when I click on a link now to download something I don't get the option to save as or open anymore windows IE just automatically downloads it too my IE temporary folder which is very annoying!!

My question is how do I get that option back where i click to download a ZIP exe whatever off the net and it asks me to save as or open??

Ye yes i know I can easily right click the file and choose but that isn't always the case sometimes it just saves the HTML not the actual file.

thanks

In windows explorer ( not IE) go to tools > folder options > file types
scroll down to and highlight zip, click advanced
put a check in the box "confirm open after download"
click ok, apply then close

it is a security feature that was implemented with SP2, you could always disable those features, have a look at micro$oft$ web site.
