Where is the setting and determines whether you get a security warning before
downloading a file? I have a computer that is not giving the "File Download -
Security Warning" dialog box, but I need it to be displayed. For
clarification, it's the one that says "Do you want to open or save this
file?" and it gives the options to "Open", "Save", or "Cancel".

Hi,
You have to set this option for each file type and the route to Folder
options> File types will be slightly different, depending on your OS:

From Windows Explorer> View> Folder options> File types
OR Explorer> Tools> Folder options> File types
OR Ctrl Panel> Folder options then File Types. Select [file type]> Advanced.
Put a check by "Confirm open after download."
You should then get the "Open or Save" dialog for each download.

Hope this helps,
