Everytime in the past when downloading a file form the net I always get asked where I would like to save my file to.
Now whenever I download a file it just downloads to a temporary folder and opens automatically afterwards, this is a pain since I can't direct the file to where I want it.
Does anyone know how I can fix this so I have control over the files I download again.

Tools --> Folder Options --> File Types


Select the type of file you are trying to download, for example zip files, scroll down to ZIP

Then click the advanced tab, and check the box "Confirm open after download" click ok, poof it should work.
