Internet Explorer file handling problem

A couple weeks ago I accidentally unchecked the "ask me every time" box when downloading a ZIP file when telling it to open the file immediately without prompting for save location. Now, EVERY time I download a ZIP file it just opens the ZIP and I don't get to pick where to save it to. This is especially annoying on those sites (Fileplanet is a good example) where the download link is in Javascript and you can't right click -> save as.

How do I make IE "forget" the file handling preference for ZIP files and make it prompt me every time again?
 
Try this.
Open a folder.
Hit "Tools" at the top.
Then "folder options".
"File Types" tab
scroll down to .ZIP extension
Highlight it & select the "advanced" button at the bottom
Check the box that says "Confirm open after download"
tell it "OK"

Hope this works for you.
