I recently had this problem in Vista and did not have the AttachmentExecute registry key available. I eventually managed to resolve by changing the EditFlags data to 00 00 00 00 under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder

I have a similar issue but can’t find a solution. I turned off the prompt in the dialog box when I click Save Target As… Now when I right click, I do not get an option of where to save the target file. It just downloads automatically and I have no idea where. Can you help me hack my registry file to reset this preference? Also – the link above for resetting all registry settings – I can’t download it because when I right click – it automatically saves it somewhere on my computer. Can’t find it using search and have no idea what is happening.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone else that doesnt have the attachmentexecute registry entry been able to resolve this? I’ve even tried adding the key and binary value to see if that would help, and it hasn’t.

Please ignore my post above about an alternative. Although these settings will give you the option of saving the file, if you choose to open the file it will put you in an infinite loop of open/save, until you cancel.

bleh…

Update: The steps above worked for me until I installed iTunes. It seems iTunes does something else in the background.

I may have another alternative to help you out. This worked on VISTA BUSINESS

Click on START > CONTROL PANEL > DEFAULT PROGRAMS > ASSOCIATE A FILE TYPE
Scroll down and click on .WAV
Click on CHANGE PROGRAM
Click on BROWSE
Browse to COMPUTER > LOCAL DISK > PROGRAM FILES > INTERNET EXPLORER
Double click IEXPLORE.EXE
Make sure that INTERNET EXPLORER is highlighted
Click OK
Click CLOSE
