How do I forcing IE to save a download???

[bud888]

How do you force IE to display the dialog box that asks you wether you want to save or open a download. At the minute, there is one particualr download I am trying to save but its opening it automatically.

The "save target as" option doesnt work either, it only saves a HTML hyperlink. Also, there is no option to save the document once its open in IE.

I thought you held down shift while clicking the hyperlink but it doesnt seem to be working either.

Can anyone help me?

Cant find those registry entries. What OS are u using? Im using WIN2000 and NT.

I have searched through the registry for anything that could resemble this but to no avail.

Thanks for your replies
