Okay, I realize I'm an idiot for asking this....

I'm on someone else's comp for now, but whenever I try to click a link to download something, it automatically just opens the file instead of giving me the option to "save as or open from the current location". Usually I can just right click and save as, but that doesn't work on sites with right clicking disabled.....where would I go in Internet Explorer to change this?

Bypassing right click and left click disable:

If you have a middle scroll button on your mouse this what you do.

1. click and hold middle scroll
2. click and hold right mouse clicker
3. click the right mouse one more time
4. let go of middle mouse scroll and the option to "SAVE as" should be there.

In Win98, all you have to do to enable the save or open box, is to check the checkbox I have marked on the picture. Make sure you enable this on the filetype that you can't "save as". I guess it's only that type of file which you can't download. I had this problem a few weeks back.

And sorry about the screenshot, it's in swedish.
