Ok, i just subscribed to fileplanet recently, and have been downloading a lot of files. When i click "download" a box usually comes up saying something like "do you want to open this file or save it to disk?". When downloading a zip file, I accidentaly unchecked the box marked "always ask before opening this type of file". This means that whenever I download a zipped file, it automatically opens instead of saves. You may not think this is bad, but for a long reason which i shall not bore you with, I find it an inconvenience. How do I fix it?

(I'm using IE6, I think, on Windows XP.)

When you come to click download, try one of these methods:

-Right-click the link and click Save target As
-Hold shift while clicking on Download. It's either Shift or CTRL... Anyways. Doing so will give you the prompt again, if my memory is good enough. o.O
