How would i restore it to the original prompt?

Through the File association by clicking on Tools>> Folder Options >>
File type >> Zip and change the settings there.

That is not what i asked... I asked "When i download a file FROM the
internet, it does not bring up a prompt to OPEN, SAVE, or CANCEL. I want
it to bring that prompt up again.
