Greetings,

When I used to open word documents thru the internal website of my company,
I used to get a prompt whether i wanna SAVE or OPEN the file and there was
the tick mark ALWAYS USE THIS ACTION TO OPEN SIMILAR FILES i guess .. or
something like that ...

i ticked it by mistake ..

Does anyone know how to get it back?

Thanks and regards.
 
Hi ahamami :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:
Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options.
Go to File Types tab.
Scroll down to .zip extension
Click advanced
Make sure 'confirm open after download' is checked.

also..

Internet Explorer Opens .exe Files Instead of Downloading Them

Click to expand...

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to the file type in question and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Check the box for "Confirm open after download".
