restore default action for downloaded file tipe in Windows internet explorer

Hi all,
I'm running Vista Business x64. While browsing the web I accidentally told
IE to always open .zip files, so every time I click on a .zip link IE
automatically opens the file instead of asking me what to do with it. How
can I get back the previous behaviour?

Thank you very much,
Soulbrighter

RE: restore default action for downloaded file tipe in Windows interne

Find the file you want to change. Right-click the file, and then, depending
on the type of file, either click Open With or point to Open With, and then
click Choose Default Program.

Click the program that you want to use to open this type of file.

Select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check
box, and then click OK.

When you double-click that type of file in the future, the file will always
open in the program you selected.
