Hi all. I am using IE6 with winxp and whenever i click on links to download
zip files it is saved automatically to temporary internet files folder
without prompting where the file i would like to save. I have checked my zip
files setting under "folder options"->"files type" and have confirmed that
"confirm open after download" option is enabled. How do i solve this so that
i would be prompted where to save the files. Thks in advance.

If he did then we can't help it and we can't assume that unless he/she come
back and say so!
