From the "Confirm Alan One" department: Lockergnomie Anthony Lieuallen brings to light a tip to help those who have lost a potentially important option. "I once clicked on a ZIP file in Internet Explorer and un-checked 'Always ask before opening this type of file?' mistakenly. The option to save ZIP files never showed up again. I found that if you open up the Windows Explorer, select 'Folder Options' from the View menu, then select the 'File Types' tab, you can locate the ZIP file association and Edit it. At that point, you can place a checkmark back into the 'Confirm open after download' field. Once again, you will be prompted to open or save a file before downloading it."
