Do you want to open or save this file ?

When you go to url which is a non-html file ( for example - PDF, WMV , AVI ) ,

and the IE just automatically opens the file in the appropriate application - it's great !

BUT .. sometimes you would like it to ask you what do you want to do with the file ?

For example - maybe you don't want to watch the WMV right now , but rather download it , and watch it later.

Well .. I wanted the IE to ask me about WMV's - but it just automatically opens it with the Media Player .

Why ?

Since once when I opened a wmv file - IE asked me the following :

And I choosed "Open" and removed the "V" from the "Always ask before opening this type of file".

Now the question is how do you get back to this to mark that checkbox ..?

Well .. here you go :

Explorer ( Windows file explorer ... not IE ) ->

Tools->

Folder Options->

File Types ->

->

Advanced ->

Mark the "Confirm Open after download"

I just wonder .. shouldn't it be much simpler ? And why it's not in IE !?!?!
