Alright, so I guess I screwed up SOMEWHERE this morning...

Whenever I left-click on a .zip file to download it, Internet Explorer never give me the option to "Save" or "Open", it just downloads it to open.

Not really that big of a deal, because I can just right-click and do "Save As", right? Well, normally, yes. But if I'm clicking on something on a Flash page, then I'm screwed, because I don't get normal right-click stuff on a Flash page.

Any help to get this thing back to normal is appreciated. Thanks. :)

1. Double-click on My Computer
2. Go Tools - Folder Options
3. Choose the File Types tab
4. Highlight the zip file extension
5. Click the Advance Button
6. Make sure the "Confirm Open After Download" is checked on.

you can also get a WinZip addin plugin for IE, so that it auto downloads zip files to a folder you specify (for all Zip Files) and then they are automatically opened by WinZip when they are completed, this is availible from

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
