How to For Download Window to NOT Disappear

[crisc]

Some time ago, I noticed the status window that shows the download progress bar, rate, etc, would disappear after the download was complete.
I know this is not the default behavior, normally that window stays there, saying "download complete", allowing me to choose to "open" or "open folder". This second option is what I really miss, being able to hit that button and open a window in the folder containing that file.

I'm sure there is a simple reg fix for this, does anyone know how to force the download window to stay?

Which download program are you using?

For Firefox, just click Tools -> Options -> Downloads, then untick "Close the Download Manager ...".

Its IE 6.0 SP1. I see there is an option in the Advanced menu called "notify when downloads complete", I'll have to check on that setting when I get home.

That turned out to be the culprit. I rechecked the box, and now the window stays there after the download completes. Can't explain how it got unchecked in the first place, though...

In the downloads box there is a tick box for close this dialog box when download completes. Maybe you checked this at some time
