I did something to change the option of where files are to be saved to and I
cant find any of my files that were downloaded.
everything is going into a temp file, then if a zip file it automaticly
opens in winzip ,etc tried using save target as but that saves the
getfile.html instead of target file

Ramesh:

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".
