Internet Explorer, Click Link, No "save" option Just opens

[Necrosaro420]

For some reason today when I click a link, it no longer gives me the option to "save" to a folder...it just auto-open's. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Are you right clicking or left clicking? You can always right click and save.

left clicking

I never knew there was a left click option...

If you see a download link, you left click it, and itll pop up a box to "open" "save" etc etc. When I left click, it just auto open's now instead of giving me the options.

Some info here, not sure if it will work for you since I don't know your OS or version of IE.

Then just right click the link and select save target, that simple.

The above was no help???

Play with the option "Open files based on content, not file extension" in IE security custom level settings, perhaps that will help. Otherwise it's the server from which you're downloading the file's fault for sending the wrong MIME type.

still didnt help. Any ideas??? This is wierd. It's not the server, because it just started doing it from almost every where now.
