For some reason now when I click on a click that is a download, rather than
popping up with where to save it, it just opens it to the temporary folder.
Don't know what has happened to cause this, but I bet someone here could
tell me how to address/fix this. Would really appreciate it. This is really
annoying. Thanks.
 
To get the download dialog box, enable the "confirm open after download"
option for that filetype:

Click "Start" -> "Program Files" -> "Windows Explorer".

Then click "Tools" -> "Folder Options".

Change to the "File Type" tabs.

Scroll down to locate the file type. Highlight the filetype (example :"PPT
Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation") and click the "Advanced" button.

Then check the option "confirm open after download".

Also, set the "NoSelectDownloadDir" to "0"
