If I click on a link on a webpage which links to a .txt file, then IE will open that file for me. If I click on a link on a webpage which links to a .zip file, then IE will ask if I want save it or not? I'm just wondering why this happen? Why not IE run my winzip to open the .zip file?? Is there something related to content-type here????


Thanks for your help!

I pretty sure that this sort of thing is generally related to content-type e.g. make IE open up excel rather than within an IE window. For winzip I'm not sure if there is a content-type value that can be used. However, if I just click 'Open', my computer will start of winzip.
