    Download Destination Folder

    When i want to download somthing and click on the link I don't get asked where I want the file to be dowbnloaded to it just downloads it to a temp folder.

    If I right click on the link and do Save target As it works fine. Is there any way to specify the destination folder or how can I get it to ask me where I want to download files to?


    Thanks

    It does it with a variety of different file times inc MP3 files and .exe.

    When I am promted where to download the files to The option to promt me to download or weather to option the or save the file is ticked so I don't see why it's not promthing me at times.

    I have tried what you suggested but it says edit a registered file type in folder option to open as soon as the file has been dpwnloaded what i want is the Dialogue that asks me if I want to Open or Save the file and where I want to save it to.


    Thanks
