shadowen · Sep 26, 2002

With the new dialog windows of the SP1 I have disabled the option that make the file "save as" when you click upon. Now all the times I try to download a .zip file my IE open directly the file in a temp dir without open the dialog windows "Where do you wont to save this file....". I dont wont to save the file with the right-click mouse>save file as... all the times. If you know where this options can be turned back, please help me. Thank you ( and sorry for the stupid question ).

Same here

Only happens with Zip files.....
Havent found yet how to avoid this stupid feature.
If any1 knows, let us know

Nope

Just had installed Stylexp, nothing to do with that.
It happened immediatly after installing SP1.

And now Style xp won´t work either

I really don't remember if Tweak xp was installed on my os, perhaps (but like that other many other was of sure). I do not think the problem is tweak, I think the problem is that this feature is GAY! (like other Microshit stuff)

i had SP1 installed on my system at 1 point and it never did that to me..... all i can suggest is uninstalling SP1 and the reload it paying closer attention to the options coming up before continuing....still wuddnt go to that extreme tho if a simple system restore would work....i'd rather reinstall the other stuff u installed after SP1 than deleting and re-installing Sp1

try to go : Start - Control panel - Internet Options - Advanced - and then click on Restore Defaults.

I think it has something to do with Sp1 eheh, I didn't installed it... good decision

thanks Denexo, but that was the first thing I made ( without luck)

Seems like yet another reason not to install SP1!

xp-antispy has a checkbox option that disables the built-in zip file integration, if that is what is referred to . . . so it has to be a fairly simple registry change, just don't know where it is.

It is probably even buried somewhere in the Explorer | Tools | Folder Options.

p.s. I thought XP (SP1 or not) activated this stupid feature by default, because I seem to remember turning it off repeated times. But, then, the sky is cloudy today which is "another good reason not to install SP1" !
