Unable to specify location to save when downloading

When I download something, I used to be able to specify a
folder on my harddrive that I wanted to save to.

Now, somehow, that window no longer appears. The
downloaded file(s) appear in a second window, which is a
temp folder in my temporary internet files folder. I now
have to cut/copy from here to the directory that I want
the file(s) to be.

How do I get that window back where I can specify where
to save to, before I actually start the download???

Any help appreciated, 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.
