Hello Sim, Awhile back another user was having the same problem. Here is the message that I posted from awhile back.... "Hey y'all, I found a solution that may work, after about an hour of trying different search terms I found the correct one. this solves the downloading to temp folder first....go to my computer.> view > folder options > file types > here look for the appropriate file type..(e.g. *zip...)WiNZIP type, select edit, at the next pop-up window, check the box..Confirm open after download...click OK...that should do it....I myself have been Wrestling with this problem for more than 6 months or so....Hope this helps..." BTW this works in WIN 98, and pretty sure it works in Win XP...for WIN XP..the path should be...MY COMPUTER>TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS>select the FILE TYPES tab..then scroll down to the WINZIP file type, then highlite....at the bottom of the pop-up, click on ADVANCED tab...place a check in the box near CONFIRM OPEN AFTER DOWNLOAD. Then click OK then CLOSE on the remaining popup to close out. that should do the trick... DayTimer
