This happened to me in Windows 7 with zip files and the only way I could get
Internet Explorer 8 to ask me for a download destination again was the
registry hack.
1. Click Start, Run, type regedt32.exe and press ENTER (or click OK) say yes
if UAC prompts. Back up your registry by selecting the computer node, then
file, then export (and save it on your desktop in case you need to restore in
safe mode).
2. Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Shell \
AttachmentExecute \ {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
3. In the right-pane, right-click on the appropriate entry (compressed for
zip files) and Delete
4. Exit the Registry Editor.
5. Fire up IE and try downloading the file type you just deleted to confirm
it now works.
