I turn off pop up blockers, but in my experience, the issue here is one of file association. The pattern has been stated to be that this is the only download type that seems to have changed. I suspect if you click a zip link, the download dialog apears. This can be fixed if desired by using the file types dialog in folder otions to alter the behaivor. It is also possible but unlikely that a security setting in ie is squelching this behavior. You can also edit the registry to alter this behavior but since thee is a tool in windows which accomlishes the same thing, it's probably best to use it. II'm afraid that if you want exact details though, I'd have to walk you through it on the hone. Issentially though it involves finding the file type in the file types list if it exists and deleting it or creating it if it doesn't exist or modifying it but that can be tricky because there are many combinations and ermutations of settings for actions. -- Johnnie Apple Seed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Byrne" <annakb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 7:13 AM Subject: [guispeak] Re: Question about Downloading There are all kinds of pop-up blockers appearing these days. In SP2, of course, under tools; also with the Google toolbar; and with a.i.m. Sometimes reading the menubar you can discover and turn them off either permanently, one-time, or for the current site.
