On Windows98, and Internet Explorer 4, I used to get a file-selection dialog
box whenever I would download files from the Internet, and one time I
un-checked the "show this dialog" box.  (Thinking I'd see if I like that
better, and I could always change it back.)

Now, as soon as a file is downloaded (say a .ZIP file), the winzip program
runs and tries to unzip it, or if it's already an .EXE, it'll run it.  I
don't really like this, as I'd much rather have the .ZIP file on my system
(without trying to find it in the internet-file-cache!), and unzip it later!
I'd much rather not auto-run .EXE files either!

I can't seem to find where that option was saved!

Does anyone know how to make Internet Explorer 4 go back to prompting me for
where a downloaded file gets saved to, instead of auto-unzipping or running
it!???!
