Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me. I am working with WebCT
and powerpoint files, and would like to be able to save
these files to my computer, but they open automatically.
I know that there is a promt that asks you if you want to
open it, or save it to disk and I cannot get this promt
to activate.

I am running XP Pro.

Thanks a million,
Alanna
 
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.

....Alan
