innocentAngel81 e-mail me garvb1@yahoo.com and i will send you a program that is sort of a super downloader program that is like the one your are missing but faster.

The folder i will send you will have the exe file along with the web page where it came from. For right now it is the fastest thing i can think of.

or anyone else for that matter.

It's probably not her memory or anything.
When that box pops up asking you if you want to save it or run it from location, there is also a little check box that should be checked. When it is checked, that box should always pop up when you try to download something. You may have accidentally hit that checkbox (always ask before opening this type of file?)and now it doesn't pop up. You can try going to your control panel, internet options, advanced, and hit the restore default button. Having that box pop up should be the system's default.

Well, this is a good way to introduce myself.
You have probably checked the "do not ask me again" item when you downloaded a file.
try this:
double click on my computer, click on tools, then folder options.

Click on the file types tab. in the registered file types window, click on a file type, then type "z" arrow down until ZIP is highlighted, click on advanced, and make sure that "confirm open after download" is checked.

do this for each file type you want to download.

hope this helps!

What if the file you're downloading isn't a .zip?
Messing with your filetype extensions is generally not a good idea.

I just found this in my Help file in the start menu.
File download
Some files can contain viruses or otherwise harm your computer.

If you run this program or open this file now, and it causes your computer or other programs to shut down, you could lose unsaved work in any open files on your computer.

If you save this file or program to disk, you can run it later. This allows you to take precautions, such as the following, before you open the file or run the program:

Check the file with a virus scanner.
Save your work and close other programs.
Disconnect from the Internet or any other network connections.
For the most security, make sure the Always ask before opening this type of file check box is selected. If you feel confident that this type of file or program is always safe to open or run directly from the Internet, make sure this check box is cleared.

Note

The Always ask before opening this type of file check box is not available for some file types, such as files with the extensions .exe or .com, which run programs or commands. When this check box is not available, you will always be asked before opening this type of file.


Good luck Innocent

I agree about the file extensions, why Microsoft decided to put that particular checkbox there, instead of in an internet control panel like any SANE person would is beyond me.
