Solve : No prompt to download .zip files?

Answer»

I am SURE this is self inflicted.  When requesting a file to download that is a *.zip: File downloads automatically and opens with out asking for permission.  What do I do to force prompting again?  Other file extensions ask me when downloading.

Using Windows XP SP2 IE7When downloading a zip file from the Internet, choose the option to Save.Worse than that, Doc, alas.

Control Panel-->Folder options-->File types.  Find the file type in the list (e.g. ZIP).  Click Advanced.  Check "Confirm open after download".

I think that should do it...Well. I check and it is SET up that way.  I DECIDED ot uninstall WinZip and reinstall it after a reboot.  Problem fixed.  Must have been native to WinZip or an option in there some where bypassing SECURITY.
