Get IE6 to prompt me to download again?

[DukeFan21]

I think I accidentally unchecked that box when downloading a file that says something like "Prompt before downloading a file". Now whenever I click on a file to download it wants to open it, and I can't choose to save it. Anyone know how I can get this back? Under the security settings, it only gives me options for "Enable" and "Disable", no "Prompt"

Is it doing it for all file types or just a certian one (like .zip)? What version of Windows are you running?

It's probably something to do with the extensions.. check under your folder options for the certian extensions that are doing it.

if you havent tried u can try resetting the settings under security and the advanced tab.

Resetting the security settings didn't work. Using Windows XP with SP1 applied. SP1 has nothing to do with this, I installed SP1 after this problem happened, I was hoping it might reset the IE settings or something but it didn't. This happens for all file types.

Can't seem to find that. What tab is that under on the Internet Options? I don't see it anywhere. Before I reset the security settings.

Weird, mine doesn't have that. Under Tools, the only options I have are Mail & News, Synchronize, Windows Update, and Internet Options.
