Whenever i try and download something, it automaticly
starts it and opens it from teh internet unless its a exe
file without asking me if i wana dl this file, and how i
want to like open form internet or save to disk. Is there
any way i can change this?
 
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

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.
