Hi Glenn :-)

Try the following and see if it helps.

Can't Download to Proper Folder:

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.

or...............

Not Prompted to Specify Download Folder for File
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...port/kb/articles/q177/9/76.asp&NoWebContent=1

or for XP....................

Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types/[File Type in
Question]/Advanced. Put a check in the box that reads: Confirm open
after download.
