Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone might be abl e to tell me how to
change the settings for when I download. Currently, when
I go to download something the computer does not ask me
if I would like to open or save the file. I want to
change this so that I am asked what I would like to do.
Thanks Bec.

You can right click the download link and select save as.

Hi Bec,

Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types/[File Type in
Question]/Advanced. Put a check in the box that reads: Confirm open after
download.

Enable Always Ask Before Opening... (Line 164)
