Turn off automatic unzip of transferred files

[Nils-Eivind Naas]

When i doubleclick on a link to a .zip file on a site, Opera5
transfers it silently in the background, and automatically invokes
Aladdin Expander to unzip the file.

Unlike .exe files, when a window opens to allow me to specify a
directory to store the file (without automatic execution of
anything).

How do I make Opera 5.02 on Windows 200 Pro behave this way for .zip
files too?

In Opera, go to:
File > Preferences... > File types
and find the entry:
application/zip
in the list box. Double-click it. Select:
(*) Show download dialog
and click OK in each dialog box.

Thank you. It works now :-)
Apparently I have a lot to learn about the Opera UI.
