HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?!? I know you can right click > save as, but that is annoying plus it does not always work.

Dont install IE6!!
 
i havent had any problems with ie6 and ZIP.

To solve your problem try and/or the following:

1) reinstall your ZIP program (winrare, pkzip, winzip, etc)

2) in Windows Explorer click FOLDER OPTIONS, FILE TYPES, and reassign ZIP to a different program
 
Win98SE and IE6 final.

It doesn't matter anyway. I've already got rid of it.

BTW, auto opening zip files was not the only problem I had with it.
 
I am using both W98SE and WIN ME with an earlier version of IE6 6.00.2530 and have not had any issues with zip files either. To me IE6 is much better then IE5.5.

i dont think IE6 is any better really, but i've had nooooo problems. Honestly I think you uninstalled too quickly.

Also, if you ever plan to install WinXP then u better get used to ie6 ;)
 
Open explorer 'folder options/file types', find zip extension and check that 'confirm open after download' is checked.
