When I download a file from one of my sites, I get a pop asking if I
want to save or Open the file.
I happened to Uncheck the box, that says "always ask me this
qquestion" and since then, I am not being given
an option to save the file.


Can any one tell me how I can rollback on this setting so that, I
will
be asked to wheather to open or save the file.

Click to expand...

See:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#confirmopen
"Not prompted to specify the download directory".

To get the download dialog box, enable the "confirm open after download"
option for that file type:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Then click [Tools] [Folder Options] [File Types]
3. Scroll down to locate the file type.
4. Highlight the file type (example :"PPT Microsoft PowerPoint
Presentation")
5. Click the "Advanced" button.
6. Enable the option "confirm open after download".

Hope this helps.
