whenever i try to download something in ie, i click on it.
but there is no download box asking whether to save/open.
it still works if i right click and save target as, but i
want to open some docs. how do i get it back? is it
because of download accelarator plus, cause i disbled it
and yet it still wont come out with the ie download box.

thanx in advance.
 
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".

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.
