Quick overview:
When you download a file and the download is complete, Explorer usually appears with the desired destination from which you open the data. However, it may well happen that you select the "Always confirm before opening this file type because this opens the linked program after the download starts immediately. There is now no way back, because the dialog in which you could change this has disappeared. To solve this problem, proceed as follows:
1. Click in the "Workplace on "Extras/Folder options/File types. Select your file type and click on "Extended.
2. Now check the box next to "Confirm opening after downloading.
From now on, the file type in question will no longer be opened with the intended program, but the traditional download dialog will appear.
