downloads start immediaty to temp folder instead of asking: IE 6

I think I unchecked the checkbox for a download and now it starts immediately with the download to my temp folder, instead of asking where to place it

How can I change this again?

Greetz and Thanks

right click a download link and choose save target as

this should allow you to change your download location

you can get the download dialog box for IE download by enabling the "Confirm open after download" option for the download file type...

open My Computer or Windows Explorer then go to Tools menu ->Folder Options ->File Types tab,
locate and highlight the file type (for example Zip), then click Advanced and enable the option.

thx, but u are sure it is not gonna download it immediately to temp folder instead of asking me where to put the download?

Cause the box is checked

*edit*

Ok, it works now, it asks me again where to place the file, thanks a lot

No problem.
and what Cairo suggests above can be possible to workaround the problem as well.

of course, but I prefer just click and go, instead of right mouse button and choose: 'save target as...'
