Specifying location for downloaded files

Hi,

In the past, when I downloaded a file from a web site, a
dialog box would pop up so that I can specify where I want
the downloaded file to go.

All of a sudden, I don't have that option anymore. Files
get downloaded into a "Temporary Folder"
(C:\windows\temporary interner files) I looked under
internet options, but don't see anyway to change the
settings back.

Thanks.

Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP1)
 
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
