Cetin,

>Launch an explorer window, go to 'Tools\Folder Options' then 'File Types' tab. Locate 'DOC' extension. Click advanced. "Confirm open after download" should be checked.

Did what you told me. It was already checked.

>FileDownload is rather weird for me. I couldn't even make it evident it's raised. Also I remember it has some error but hard to locate such docs again. As far as I remember it was about it was listing 2 bCancel parameters and event was not raised properly (in .NET?).

>>Really strange, or the documentation has something missing or there is a bug in the FileDownload event behavior.
