When left clicking a link online to download something I
used to be able to pick a destination to download my
files too. Last time I was able to do this I accidently
checked a little box and now it don't prompt anymore.
When I left click a link it automatically downloads to
temp files, and it's very annoying.

My question I guess is how do I get this dialog back to
pop up everytime I click a link? I can't seem to figure
it out for the life of me. I run Windows XP.

Thanks.
 
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.
