Unzipping (Read 240 times)

In the past when downloading a file (texture etc), i always a window asking whether i wanted to open the file straight away or save it. I always opted to save it to a folder specifically for that purpose.

However, just recently I havent been given this option at all, sometimes the download is just opened (and i can't unzip the files), or else it wont let me download the texture etc at all. I guess somewhere along the line the window has been disabled, does anyone know how i can get it back?

Thanks

George

What browser/downloader are you using? You probably accidentally configured it to always open .zip files.

Well there you've got me, Its internet explorer, and i think its Microsoft WinZip perhaps? I have standard windows XP and have never installed any other kind of 'unzipper',

Sorry, I don't use IE. I still think you accidentally configured it to always open .zip files but I don't know how to change it.

Well if what Webb says is right, then to change it back:

1) Go to my Documents
2) Click tools, Folder Options
3) To to file types then scroll down to .ZIP
4) Click Change... then Open With...
5) Choose C:\Program Files\Winzip\WINZIP32.exe

Click OK and then OK again.

That's not exactly what I meant.

G_EORGE's problem seems to be that all .zip files are opening instead of giving him the option to download them.

I dusted off IE and navigated to a .zip file. A box opened up asking whether I wanted to open it or download it and whether I always wanted to do either. I suspect that G-EORGE checked the box that says "Always open".
