Downloading with IE
Old subject... hoping for updated information
Sunday, October 16, 2011 by Hapkido | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
There was an old thread here about downloading Dream files where the OP lamented that instead of getting the expected Download Manager in IE (which you do with FF), it downloaded and installed the file. The answers to his post were unfortunately inadequate to resolve the issue.
I am opening this question up again, although it is not restricted to just Dream files; every type of file: CursorFX, WindowBlinds, etc.
I am running Vista and IE9 and really find it more than aggravating to download a WindowBlind, for example, and have it automatically installed and no easy access to the .wba file itself. A few years back I was able to right-click on the download link/button and download the file with IDM (Internet Download Manager). But that no longer works either. Thus.....
What I'm hoping is that someone knows of a work around to download items from WinCustomize with IE like you can do everywhere else with the Download Manager giving you the option of where you want to save the file and rename it if desired. Recommending installing FF or another browser is really lame just so a member can download files, IMHO.
TIA
