I am currently using IE7 with XP SP3.
When a webpage download with unknown file type loads, I get a prompt asking me what I want to do with the file. My options are FIND SAVE CANCEL.
How do I make it so that I don't get this popup prompt, but Internet explorer automatically downloads the file into a directory I choose without asking?
PS. I have already tried Tools >> Internet Options >> Security >> Internet >> Custom Level >> Downloads >> Disable/Enable/Enable, but this doesn't help.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have to use IE. I'm using it in connection with other proprietary software based on IE and its settings. And yes I'm aware it's not a great browser. (This is not for strictly personal use in the browsing sense. )
