How can I re-enable the check box for ?Always ask before opening this type of file? when downloading a file from the Internet? Usually a Window will appear giving you the option to select the directory/folder were you would like to save a certain file after clicking on Save. I accidentally clicked on the check box disabling it and now I would like to have back this setting again. any idea how?
Thanks,
Manuel

Hi,
This is a cut and paste from a technet article...

RESOLUTION
If you want to be prompted for a download location for the file type, follow these steps:
Double-click My Computer.
On the View menu, click Folder Options.
On the File Types tab, click the appropriate file type in the Registered File Types box.
Click Edit.
Click to select the Confirm Open After Download check box.
Click OK, and then click OK.
