ZBomber Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 When I downlaod things, I usually get a box that pops up asking what I'd like to do (Like Save, Open, Close, etc) Well, it doesn't work like that anymore. When I downlaod something, it sends it right to my Temporary Internet Files Folder. Anyone know how I can set it back to how it used to be?

ZBomber Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 Hmm... if I right click, and choose Save Target as, I can choose where to save. But if I just click a link, it just automatically saves to Temp folder..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoosh Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 format I did it a couple of weekends ago and it solved all the nagging problems I was having. I was totally infected by spyware though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCanr2d2 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I now use Mozilla, but try in the Advanced Tab in the Internet Options and perhaps enable - Show Notification when downloads complete. Not too sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetheeskimo Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 ZBomber, I had this problem before and know how to fix it, but my memory is a little rusty. Check Interent properties and go to Advanced and look for a box titled "Confirm Open After Download". If there's othing there, try Folder Options (View->Folder Options).

ZBomber Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 Strange, the notification box is checked, yet it still doesn't work....

I'm stupid when it comes to computers. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Your computer will return to its factory state if you format. In other words you loose all data, it swipes your pc clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
