No prompt when doing an FTP download

There is a setting in the ftp download dialog box that you can check/uncheck  -"Always ask before downloading this type of file"
Remember it's for an FTP download, not http

I unchecked the box, so it will not ask before downloading, it will just download and start the unzip application. OK, no problem.

Problem is that I cannot find the setting to select back to..., ask before downloading. Where the hell is this setting?

In internet explorer click on view then options then go to the security tab and click on reset....if this does not work go to the advanced tab and then click on restore defaults

Already tried those options. No avail.

Could be a bug in IE that the programmers overlooked.

Nice job JimiT! Should have known that the answer was not to be found in any IE settings.

Oh the treasure hunt Microsoft puts us through sometimes.

Again thanks JimiT!
