Help me fix this motherfucker. - Nubblies.net Forums

Alright, so I'm pretty damn good when it comes to computers. I have fixed more than my fair share of fuckups and problems. However, I just recently ran into a problem that I know is an easy fix, I'm just not looking in the right places. So bitches, help me out.

With the newest Internet Security Updates from Microsoft, when you download a file, a variation (depending on what extension the file is) of this box comes up:

I was downloading some .zip files, and I unchecked the option of "Always ask before opening this type of file" because I wanted it to always just save to my computer. The problem is now, whenever I click on a link for download, it just automatically downloads it to my temporary internet folder and opens the file right up instead of saving it in a location that I specify. I know there is a way to turn that function back on, but I have looked everywhere and can't find it. Anybody think you can help me out with this?

It just skips that screen even if you right click and choose "Save Target As"?

1. Double-click My Computer.
2. On the View (or maybe tools) menu, click Folder Options.
3. On the File Types tab, click the appropriate file type in the Registered File Types box.
4. Click Edit (or advanced).
5. Click to select the Confirm Open After Download check box.
6. Click OK, and then click OK.

That was swift and professional. If I were to go gay, I would take you with me.

Thanks. That means a lot.

I pride myself in my swift, professional mannerisms.

Brilliant. Now if you used Firefox, you would just have to go to: Tools
Options
Downloads
And choose as you pleased.

I love you. But I swear to god that I searched the Microsoft site for that info. Oh well, it works now, that's all that matters.

You know Niger, my IE kept crashing everytime I minimized it to my taskbar then tried to reopen it.

So I downloaded Firefox. Fuck man...it is nice. However, there are a few things I don't like about it, and you'd probably know how to change it.

1] I can't change the icons of my bookmarks.
2] I can't get rid of the Bookmark Folder tab.
3] When I go to delete a bookmark, it doesn't confirm the delete, it just does.

Those are all small things that don't really matter, but I just wondered if you knew about how to change any of it. Also, supposedly you can get themed and skinned broswer add-ins. Any idea where I might be able to get them?
