Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2007Open option after file download is Missing
When I click on a file link Windows opens up a small window that asks "Do you want to open or save this file" with below "Open, Save, Cancel". If I chose "save" it would save the file to the folder that I chose and then, after the downloading was completed, that same window would give me the option to "open". Now I don't have that option... that small window closes after the download is completed. I would like that option back. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You! More Information: Fully updated Windows Xp and I. E. 7. > When I click on a file link Windows opens up a small window that asks "Do you > want to open or save this file" with below "Open, Save, Cancel".

See: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#confirmopen "Not prompted to specify the download directory". To get the download dialog box, enable the "confirm open after download" option for that file type: 1. Open Windows Explorer 2. Then click [Tools] [Folder Options] [File Types] 3. Scroll down to locate the file type. 4. Highlight the file type (example :"PPT Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation") 5. Click the "Advanced" button. 6. Enable the option "confirm open after download".

I found out what to do!! While the file is downloading make sure that the "Close this dialog box when download completes" box is 'unchecked'. You will then have the options of - Run - Open Folder - and Close!
