Can someone explain to me why I am, all of a sudden, unable to download any files to a directory?I have always downloaded the zips, etc.. to a directory called download on my HD. All of a sudden today when clicking on download I end up with an open folder on the desktop that contains all of the files of the zip that I downloaded. I am not getting an actual download to a directory, but to a temp folder and the zips are automatically opened in that folder. I have not changed any settings! How can I get the downloads directed back to a permanent folder on my HD? This has me totaly stumped! I have never seen this before!Any help would be appreciatedhttp://members.cox.net/pstepanoff/images/OK_c2.gifPete S

OK! I found the answer. Microsoft document Q30890. I need to set a parameter in the Folder Options. Don't know why it changed to begin with. Oh well, at least I can go back to normal!http://members.cox.net/pstepanoff/images/OK_c2.gifPete S

Hi Pete,I entered the Q30890 number in the MS Knowledgebase search, but it couldn't be found. Did you find the document somewhere else?John

Sorry John, my bad. I missed a digit. It's # "Q308090 -Zip Files Downloaded with Internet Explorer Are Not Saved To Your Computer".Here's the full link, you'll have to cut and paste after the first ";".http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;en-us;Q308090http://members.cox.net/pstepanoff/images/OK_c2.gifPete S
