Hi

Recently my downloads have been opening automatically in IE, instead of providing the usual, Open or Save as dialogue box. I believe I may have unchecked by mistake of a slip of the mouse, always ask before opening this type of file.

Can anyone tell me how I can reverse this so that the excel sheets do not open up automatically in the browser and once again provide me with an opportunity to save them before opening them.

Many Thanks for your help,
 
For an Excel spreassheet problem, go to Windows Explorer, Tools-->Folder Options, File Types tab. Find and select the file extension (usually .xls), then choose Advanced and check the box "Confirm open after download".
