Default zip files wont download
i dont know how this happened, but now, everytime i click on a link to dl a zip file, it wont give me the save as dialog box, it simply downloads the data and opens it in IE's temp folder. it really annoying, is there anyway to fix this?

thx in advance,
Apu

Open Windows Explorer (not IE), click Tools - Folder Options, on the File Types tab find the zip extension, highlight it, click Advanced and check "Confirm open after download"
