What do you want to do with this file?

When I download an EXE file off the Internet, I do NOT get this window... http://www.pc-shareware.com/downld3.gif

How can I make this window appear for EXE files that I download using MS Internet Explorer 5.0.

I have tried looking for EXE under File types in My Computer...but "Application/EXE" cannot be edited from the File Types page.

Simply right click the file you wish to download, and select Save As.

Now select the location you wish to download the file to.

>>to download


There are many Web sites that automatically feed a download to the user via a CGI script...making it impossible to right mouse click on a file name.

Your comment does not answer the question "http://www.pc-shareware.com/downld3.gif ...How can I make this window appear?" and make it appear permanently as the default action for downloads of type EXE?
Goto Internet Options/Security/Custom Level/Download/File Download/Enable
hehe... that works.
Why is the "Always ask before opening this type of file" checkbox always disabled when downloading EXE files?
