Download dialogue box XP

[Adam]

I accidentally clicked the "always ask before opening this type of file" check box for my zip files, now they automatically download into my temporary internet files folder, which isn't where I like to download them to. The box doesn't pop up anymore, so I can't uncheck it. Any idea how I can change the setting on this?

Thanks,
Adam

perhaps tools > settings?

[Adam]

I checked all through tool>internet options, I have no settings under there, but I couldnt' find anything. :( Thanks though.

**edit, I mean yes, I can change where they automatically download to, but I like flash zips to go to one place, and program zip downloads to go to another.

No need to switch to firefox for this - stay strong :)

1. Double click on My Computer.

2. Go to Tools | Folder Options.

3. Click the File Types tab.

4. Scroll all the way down to ZIP and select it.

5. Click the Advanced button.

6. Check the box for "Confirm open after download."

That should fix your problem ;) The attached image can also help.
