When i left click a link to save a file in Internet Explorer 6, it automatically defaults to opening the file instead of giving me a prompt to save it. This is really annoying. How do i get the prompt back? I'm running xp.

not sure if this works...try opening 'windows explorer' | tools | options | file types
find the .mpg or .zip or whatever extension and remove it.

MS Q177976
may help, or there is another link at the bottom (Q140991) of that one that may be of some help.

I only get a prompt for open and save on XP Pro, not the usual run from, or save to disk like I was use to seeing.
