(hopefully) easy IE question (regarding downloads)
Man, I *hate* when something minor happens and I can't figure it out. But, thank goodness for the NTCOMPATIBLE forums. I was downloading, using IE and I *know* I clicked something by mistake (happy left-finger clicker).

I was downloading, using IE and I *know* I clicked something by mistake (happy left-finger clicker). Now, when I try to download other things, it automatically downloads to a temp folder. I don't have the option to choose where I want the download to go.
How the heck do I change it back?!?!?!
Come on peeps, don't fail me now.... like my brain already did.

I figured it out.
Within WINDOWS EXPLORER, go to TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS > FILE TYPES.
Look for the "ZIP" file settings. Click on ADVANCED.
Make sure your settings show this: a tick marked "CONFRIM OPEN AFTER DOWNLOAD".
Now click on EDIT.
Make sure 'action' says "OPEN".
Application used to perform action can be whatever you use to open up ZIP files.
a tick marked "USe DDE".
That's basically it.
