No download prompt in IE6.0

[Padraig]

Hi,

When I left click a link to a .zip file in IE6.0 the .zip
is dowloaded automatically to:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\Content.IE5\WCSBFST0\index-list[1].zip

I do not get a prompt to save. This is something that has
just happened as I used to get the save as dialogue box
before.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

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

Click "Start" -> "Program Files" -> "Windows Explorer".

Then click "Tools" -> "Folder Options".

Change to the "File Type" tabs.

Scroll down to locate the file type. Highlight the filetype (example =
:"PPT
Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation") and click the "Advanced" button.

Then check the option "confirm open after download".

Also, set the "NoSelectDownloadDir" to "0"

Hi,

Thanks very much. :-)

I set the "confirm open after download" in the File Type
tab in Folder Options for .zip and that seems to have
fixed things.

However, I was unable to set "NoSelectDownloadDir" to "0"
as there does not appear to be the registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet
Explorer\
Restrictions]
on my machine. I am running Windows XP Pro & IE 6.0.

Should I have this key under XP? Is is strictly necessary
to set the value of this key to 0?

Thanks again,
Padraig

Not required. If present, set to 0. Else ignore.

Hi,

Thanks very much. :-)

I set the "confirm open after download" in the File Type=20
tab in Folder Options for .zip and that seems to have=20
fixed things.

However, I was unable to set "NoSelectDownloadDir" to "0"=20
as there does not appear to be the registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet=20
Explorer\
Restrictions]
on my machine. I am running Windows XP Pro & IE 6.0.

Should I have this key under XP? Is is strictly necessary=20
to set the value of this key to 0?

Thanks again,
