kalizar Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 when i click a link to download something, it doesnt ask whether i want to save or open it. it just starts downloading it to a temporary folder. Now i have to right click the link and say "save target as". How do i change this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwai lo Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 uh..I was just going to say right click and save as cuz that's the only way I've seen of doing it. I don't think you can change it...unless it's something in the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalizar Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 well you know how usually when you click a link to download something it comes up with a box asking if you would like to save it to your computer, or open it from its current location? that doesnt come up anymore, and it just automatically downloads it to a temporary folder. how do i switch it back? this same thing has happened on my dad's computer.

Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Restore defaults Did it just happen by itself? or were you tweaking something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
