i like to have the pop up when opening mailing attachments (excel, word,
powerpoint files) that says "open or save this document," but i accidentally
unchecked the box at the bottom that says "ask me everytime before i open."
how do i restore the default settings? i have already tried changing the
default security back to the default settings (under tool --> options -->
security), but it still hasn't changed anything.
Control Panel->Folder Options->File Types->Highlight the file types and click Advanced. Check the box that says "confirm open after download."

Under "Folder Options" there is not "file types." Thus, was not helpful.
Maybe it's not a Vista thing?
