japinard Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 When I click zip files on the Internet, they now automatically run and extract. I want to have the option t choose to "open file" or "save to disk". How can I get this back? Using IE6... Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarker Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Try right clicking on the link and then choose either 'save link as' or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japinard Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 Yep I can do that, however normally I'd left click and it'd bring up the dialogue box. Here's the problem though. There are some Sim Sites I go to where your membership is polled and you cannot right click the link to "save as". I have to left click and then it auto-unzups them...

Panzer Leader Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I had that happen once. It's a setting somewhere, but I can't remember where, either in IE settings, or maybe in program settings (which you get by opening up any folder and going to Folder Options. I know what your problem is, and its frustrating, but you'll figure it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japinard Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 Panzer Leader thank you! You gave me an idea... I went to the file type associations for winrar, and found a box I could to check for "run" after "download" confirmation. Whew! Thank you!
