I guess I accidentally unchecked that box that prompts you if you want to "Always ask before opening this type of file type" so now whenever I click on a winzip file for d/l it opens them instead of prompting what I want to do. Does anybody know how to reenable this?
 
In Windows Explorer (not IE) click Tools - Folder Options - File Types. Find the zip extension, click on it, then go to advanced and check "confirm open after download". OK your way out.
 
ahh thank you! =) I was rooting around in there (that wasnt a very accurate description :mad: ), even removed the extension and reassociated it (which doesnt work because it still remembers the settting)

saved me from doing more drastic things like messing with the default actions of that file type ;)
 
This is an old thread, you should ave started a new one. However, in Vista click the start button and go to default programs. Find the file extension you want to change and then uncheck the box that says always use this program to open this file.

click apply and close.

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. :(
