IE6 SP1 downloading problem
Hello!
I had FlashGet installed and uninstalled recently. After that, I noticed that when I click to download an .exe file, IE6 SP1 is not displaying the "Save to" window and I can see on the left bottom corner of the browser that it is silently opening the file. I opened registry editor to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Plugins\Extension\ and deleted the .exe key and restarted the computer. However, the problem is that the key is being recreating itself again and the problem persists.. Any ideas how can I fix this problem??? I looked around the internet and have not found any other case in which the key recreates itself.. The 2 keys that are being recreated a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Plugins\Extension\.exe and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Plugins\MIME\application/x-msdownload |

He's already asked in an OE group and XP - General.
Who knows how many other posts he made to other groups? vbg -- Kath Adams MS MVP - Windows (IE/OE) Thomas Wendell wrote: try asking in groups microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie6.*.* , maybe *.*.*.ie6.setup or *.*.*.ie6.browser kirjoitti viestissä oups.com...
