Hi all. I am using IE6 with winxp and whenever i click on links to download
zip files it is saved automatically to temporary internet files folder
without prompting where the file i would like to save. I have checked my zip
files setting under "folder options"->"files type" and have confirmed that
"confirm open after download" option is enabled. How do i solve this so that
i would be prompted where to save the files. Thks in advance.

1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .

Click on Security Tab then Custom level. On security Settings-Internet Zone
scroll to this:
[v^]Downloads
[&] Automatic prompting for file download s
(*) Disbale
Click [OK] then click clickon Advanced tab and scroll down under
browsing option.
[&] Browsing:
[ ] Notify when Downloads complete

Click [Apply] then Click [OK] and see if the download prompt will show you
donwload complete and you want to save or Open.
HTH,
