Which browser are you using? It should be possible to change the file download settings from the Options menu.

That explains a lot. LOL

Unfortunately I have no knowledge of Vista or IE7. I found this which might help. http://irc.uconn.edu/Vista_Help_Files/IE7_Setting_Vista_Trusted_Site.htm

You haven't disabled the Vista internet security, have you?

The thing where Firefox started to download all by itself should not have happened.

Okay, after poking around a bit, here's the solution:

http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/reset-the-always-ask-before-opening-this-type-...

Look for the bit near the bottom that says "RESETTING THE OPTION FOR ALL FILE TYPES"

Apparently, if you do not check ( Or if you unchecked ) the "always ask...", prompt, it's always going to assume you want to open. Personally, I *never*, *ever*, *not no way at any time*, uncheck that box. NEVER! But that's just me. Wink

Hope that helps.
