IE Save to Disk popup box?
In IE, when you download a file it, by default, asks the user what to do...either Save to Disk or Open.

A friend has it configured to Open Excel spreadsheet files automatically. What he now wants to do is for a prompt to ask him to Save to disk OR Open.


So, does anyone know how to remove the option he took when he clicked on always Open this file type?

ta
Folder Options Control Panel
File Types
XLS
Advanced
Confirm Open After Download

Think that should do it.
