My I.E. has a problem....it automatically opens zip files instead of giving me the option to save to disk when I click on a link to a zip file over the internet. Anyone know how to change this? Thanks in advance,
Question on I.E.: How do I stop it from auto opening zip files?

Try this:
In any window (windows explorer) go to Folder Options
Select File Types tab
Find the extension in question (ZIP)
Click the Edit button
Recheck the "confirm open after download" check box
That should work for any Win9x.
For XP or 2000 I don't remember if the menu path to get to this option is the same.
It might not work as there is supposedly a bug that prevents the user from removing the "open automatically feature" once its in place.
