Can't download files

[cooldisk2005]

All,
I am having a problem with my internet explorer 6.0 When I try to download anything, it doesn't have the Save As type file extension associated. The word All Files is in the field, so when I download it, I can never open it. If I go to another computer in my house and try to download, I can always download in the correct format with the correct extension. The other computers have the same internet explorer version.

What setting can I change in my explorer to fix this?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Please help, and your help will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried emptying your browser cache and restarting IE?

Yes I have done that so many times

I have found out what the problem was.

There is an FDA bar that is connected with my Explorer Browser.

On that bar, there is a button called Options. Once I clicked that a window comes up with a radio button called: Hook Internet Explorer downloads. That radio button was checked and I unchecked it and that did the trick.

I hope this is helpful to someone else who might run across this problem.

Thanks,

Thanks for posting your solution, but what do you mean by 'FDA bar' & does this have a name, so that others can benefit?

That'll be the "Free Downloads Accelerator" toolbar, available from

http://www.freedownloadsaccelerator.com/,

I suspect.
