By mistake i ticked the box in Internet explorer saying "always do this to this type of file" and now for zips it always wants to open them directly, this is really bugging me, i have reset IE's settings and looked in my registry but i cant find the key, can anyone help me and tell me how to sovle this otherwise ill end up installing IE and hope that works (prob wont)

I'm running IE6 btw

Thanks
Chris

Read the instructions in <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q308090" target="_new">Q308090</A> MS Knowledge Base Article. I think this may help.

Should be able to go to windows exploror and Tools then Folder options and File Types. And you can change which program is the default program for that file type there.
