Downloading Zip Files in IE6

JohnK · 2003-07-01 22:47:20

While downloading a zip file the other day I unticked a box on the popup box where it asks if I want to download or open the file. Since then it only opens the zip file and its really annoying me. Any idea on how I can get the option back? Im using IE6 and winxp Thanks

AFAIK this should work:

Open Windows Explorer
Click Tools, Folder Options, then go to the File Types tab

Scroll down the list till you get to ZIP, select it, then click Advanced

Make sure the first tickbox (something like "confirm open after download" is selected)

May do the trick
