    Default Problem linking to ZIP file

    I am having a problem File linking to a ZIP file. I can link to a Doc file for instance but when I "Open" the Zip file to link it, it opens the file and displays the contents rather than linking. Any ideas?

    You have the zip extension associated with a program on your computer which means it will open instead of prompting for a download.

    you can UN-associate the zip extension on your computer by following the info in this tutorial

    If any visitors have the zip extension associated they "may" see it open instead of the download prompt

    If your web host supports PHP you can use the code in this tutorial to force any file to download
