IE opens zip files automatically

[jeex]

i went to download a zip file earlier today and i accidentally told IE to open them all, instead of download them. i know i can right click on zip files and download them most of the time, but sometimes that option isnt available. i've tried screwing around with IE but i cant figure anything out. i want it to bring up the normal dialogue when i click on zips, not just automatically open them.

thanksssssssss

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I ended up having to uninstall WinRAR then click the DL again and recheck the box. Then reinstalled WinRAR and all is well at the monent

winxp handling of zip files sucks ...

do this:
To Disable:

1) Start Menu > Run

2) Type:

regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll


To Enable:

1) Start Menu > Run

2) Type:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll

Do you get the normal download dialog box when you right click on a zip file, or is this just when you double-left-click on a zip file. Another thing you might check is right-click on My Computer, chose Explore, Tools, Folder Options, File Types. Scroll down to ZIP and see if there is an association with that file type.[/img]
