how to disable the auto download(zip files) feature in windows?

[wluk]

Hi, I checked the box to have windows automatically download zip files and now every time I click on a zip file, it will automatically download in background to the temp folder. How do I undo the process so that everything I want to download a zip file, it will ask me where to download the file to?
Thanks for your help!

Found the answer from http://www.onecomputerguy.com/ie_tips.htm#iesave



<< When you try and download a .EXE file with Internet Explorer, you are prompted to "Always ask before opening this type of file".
If you uncheck this box, the next time a EXE file is about to be downloaded, you will not be prompted and the file will automatically be opened.
You also do not see the "Always ask..." box again so you can uncheck it.
To reset Internet Explorer back again:

Start Regedit
Go to Hkey_Classes_Root \ exefile
Change the EditFlags value from d8 07 01 00 to d8 07 00 00 >>



But instead of look for exefile, I changed the compressedFolder instead.
