Hi friends, how are we doing on this saturday night? I just got home from work, and very tired. But I have things to work on!

My question:  
I accidently clicked something (I forget) in I.E. about automatically downloading .zip files … not asking where to save it to… it just opens. And for some reason… when i dont save to a place on my hd, and just open the file from its current location … there are no files inside the zip file… can someone tell me how to get back to when I click on a .zip link on a website it ASKS me where to put the file, instead of opening it automatically?

OR-

Tell me why/how to fix why winzip displays no files.

Thank you kindly. :azn:
