I recently did a Windows Update, updating Internet Explorer.

Now when i download files, it doesnt ask me where i would like to save the file too, it just downloads it in C:\WINDOWS\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY FILES\CONTENT\IE\

This is a right pain, any ideas on fixing it, so i specify where the download should go? Im worried someone might go on my PC when im not around, and download something that may have a virus on. (for some reason ZIP files are automatically extracted, and i have checked all options with my Zipping program).

Cheers:wave:

It puts the files there while it downloads them, obviously it sounds like you aren't getting the dialog asking to open or save.

Goto Tools -> Internet Options... -> Advanced Tab

Scroll down until you find Notify when downloads complete and make sure it's checked.

Although that won't seem to solve you problem, it may do something to assist.

Its already checked, and yes it isnt asking where i want to save. And there are no other options in there for this, i already looked earlier.

Any more ideas?:confused:
