| Vista Home Basic 32bit | Please help, always ask before opening this type of file, problem! :( Well, earlier I was installing a .msi file. I double clicked it, and my cat jumped on my keyboard. This unchecked the "always ask before opening this type of file" box, and I clicked continue, not realising until I clicked it. My question is, how do I make it ask me again? Please help, as this is really bothering me.   EDIT:: This option was from running it, off of my desktop. EDIT:: This is to do with Windows Installer Last edited by Spiderz; 10-09-2009 at 07:16 AM.. |

| Vista Home Basic 32bit | Re: Please help, always ask before opening this type of file, problem! :( It's not in Internet explorer though. I downloaded, by saving to my desktop... It was there where I accidentally unchecked the box (opening and installing from my desktop).  |
