Winzip opens automatically

On my 98 system whenever I click a link or button that leads to a zip file the zip file opens. I would like to have the option of downloading and saving the zip to the local system before it opens and I can't figure out how or why it does this. I've reset winzip back to defaults and IE as well WHAT AM I MISSING AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!


Sorry about that ;-)
Thanks
Gene

Double click My Computer and in the window that opens Click View and then Folder Options. On the File Types tab scroll down the list to WinZip file and double click it. Put a tick in the box for "Confirm open after download" and Ok everything.
