Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunetly none of them have worked. To jefro Rep # 1, You suggested 2 item. A right click did not produce a Context menu, so I could not use the Save as, 2nd was change the action taken in Tools Options Applications, I changed the default from open to Save file for IZarc. However it seems like it still acts the same way with Open in IZArc as the default. To XpUser Rep # 2, My Option for any file including rar is to Ask Me Where. I do not have a static loction for files it depends on what type of file it is as to where I downloaded it to. To paulsep Rep # 3, Sorry but your reply was similar to jefro, and it did not work. To btk1w1 Rep # 4, Yes I do the same thing but instead of Winar, I use IZArc To philamor Rep # 6, As stated before I can not right click for a context menu, so I can only left click. So when I left click on the link, it produces the standard down window with 3 choices. It says you have Chosen to OPEN 1) Deflaut IZArc 2) Flashgot 3) Save File I do use the Save File and click ok and it does give a choice as to where to save the file however the Radio Button for change what action is taken is Grayed out so I can not use it for all files of similar type. So in the end even though you replies have suggested some go advice none of the action has change the out come. I believe the problem my be that It says "I have chosen to open the file". I do not want to Open the file I just want to Save it. This action my be taken because of the WinXp/ Tools /Folder Options/ File Type. Where as the action on RAR file is to Open. What do you thing of they possible reason it whats to Open rather then Save? Never say Never Romeo Void Firefox 3.0.3 A Safer Browser Thunderbird 2.0.0.16

This was suggested in Response # 1 & # 3, and it has already been tried as I stated in my reply. It did not change the reaction to Save As but remained Open with IZArc. Thanks for the reply Never say Never Romeo Void Firefox 3.0.3 A Safer Browser Thunderbird 2.0.0.16

I would like to thank everyone who replied. It seems that it was a WinXp thing. It was solved by going into Window Explorer Tools Folder Options File Types Selecting RAR Removing the Open command Applying Ok Now when I download a file it is set to Save As Once again thank for you help.
