saving files

I don't know how I did it but this is what happens. I go to a site any site and before something happed you get would you like to save this file open this file when you try downloading files, now it just opens it up. I would like to change it back so it askes what I would like to do to the file. I am sure it is an easy fix.

Doing a Save As should give you a dialog box asking you where you want to save your files. Select where you want to save.

To have the option to either close, open this file.

Click on Tools
Select Internet Options
Click on the Advance Tab
Check the box that says " Notify when downloads are complete"

This will give you an option if you want to open your file now or just close the dialog box and not open it.

Wolfreakyn? What the heck does Whooosh mean? AFAIK no one will understand your comments.

still no luck it is internet explore 6.0, the problem is zip files. As for the save as not all sites allow you to do this.

In Firefox it's Tools->Options->Downloads.

Sorry didn't know it needed to mean something :-)

This should fix it.

Not Prompted to Specify Download Folder for File

In WinZip Options, there's Configuration->Explorer Enhancements, there is also a set installation defaults that will restore original settings.

Getting warmer or colder?
