When you click an object on a web page, usually you get a
dialog box with the option to save to the location you
want, or default to the temporary internet file
directory. I accidentally set it to "always" default to
temporary internet file directory. Now whenever I click
on an object, it will automatically save to that
directory. Does anyone know about to change it back so I
can get the dialog box with the option to save wherever I
want? Thanks for your help...
 
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.
