See:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#confirmopen
"Not prompted to specify the download directory".

To get the download dialog box, enable the "confirm open after download"
option for that file type:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Then click [Tools] [Folder Options] [File Types]
3. Scroll down to locate the file type.
4. Highlight the file type (example :"PPT Microsoft PowerPoint
Presentation")
5. Click the "Advanced" button.
6. Enable the option "confirm open after download".

Computer".

Hope this helps.
