How do i get back to the little save box in Vista? Every zip i
download opens. I know how to fix in xp. They keep changing stupid
stuff.

One more question:

How do i see the total size of the recycle bin? It used to be on the
status bar. But for some dumb reason that was removes from all
folders. Why?

I click on a download link that's a zip file. I don't get the
open/save/cancel box. It just automatically opens the zip file. How
can I get the open/save/cancel box back?

Thx
