Whenever I am downloading files from the internet that are .zip's. They go straight into my Temporary internet files and I can't save them any other way. All other files save to how I want them, but im not sure why the .zips are doing this.. Please help! Thanks.. -t0x
Btw, I have Windows XP Pro, IE6

Please try to be patient- our members are helpful, but we all have lives apart from here, and we do this on a volunteer basis as well. I'm sure that if anyone who's read your post had the solution they would have posted it, but the problem does seem a bit obscure.
One question: if you right-click on the .zips, do you get a "save link as..." type option? Not that that's a fix; I'm just curious.
yeah, that works and all, but it doesnt fix it..
Come on now like me you have no life. haha t0x lets fix your problem right now buddy. Go to your folder options.
Once your there go to File Types. Once your there select .zip and click advanced your fix is waiting for you in there have a good day.

where is the folder options?
In Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer):
In the top menu bar, go to Tools->Folder Options..., File Types. Select ZIP from the list of registered filetypes and then click Advanced.

That will only help with how winxp handles zip file not how IE handles them .
Im not sure what you need to do about the problem ,have you tried emptying the temp internet files folder ,and then try downloading a zip file .Make sure you are selecting save and not open !
