How do I undo automatic downloads? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I accidentally set IE to automatically download and open ZIP files and I need to reset it so it always prompts first. How can I do this?

that should be in the advanced tab of internet options for IE6. I'm not running IE6 right now so i can't check to be sure though.

nope, i looked there already.

try folder options

in win exporer, view->folder options->file types

find zip and click on advanced.

mess with the check boxes in that window.

to clear up what the_dude said:

(This is for Win2k, may work on all other win versions too)

open up "My Computer"

Tools > Folder Options > File Types

Scroll all the way to the bottom, then go up until you see "Zip"

Click on "Advanced"

Make sure there is a Check in the box for "Confirm open after download".
