Always ask before opening this type of file

I have apparently chosen to "always open" a particular type of file to
bypass this dialog box.

How can I make it display every time I try to download something with a
particular extension?

Found the fix about 40 pages back .. I did the same thing
too. Original fixer guy was Alan.
You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check
the "Confirm open
after download" box
Click to expand...
The path to Folder Options may vary according to your
operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.
Click to expand...

Thank you.

I ended up going to the registry (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dxf) and added the
following key: Content Type image/vnd.dxf. It didn't have a Content Type
entered.
