I am going crazy.

I am downloading a lot of .zip files off the Internet.

Each time I did this, I got prompted by a window asking if
I was sure I wanted to download this file, and that it may
contain a virus - do I want to continue: yes or no.

I would then hit yes, and I would be prompted where I
wanted this file to go.

After doing this for quite some time, I found that there
was a check box that said that if I didn't want to see
this message anymore I could check (or uncheck... I
forget) the box so I was no longer prompted.

What I wanted to do was to not be prompted asking if I was
sure. However, by checking (or unchecking) this box, I
was now no longer able to specify where my file was sent
to. It now automatically goes to my Temporary Internet
Folder. I hate this.

I've tried to search help, up my privacy settings, as well
as my security settings, but I can't figure out how to get
that prompt back.

Please help.
