     To get the download dialog box, enable the "confirm open after download" option for that filetype:
     
     Open Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, File Type tab
     Scroll down to locate the file type. Highlight the filetype click the "Advanced" button.
     Then check the option "confirm open after download".

     I accidently unclicked the "Always ask before opening this
     type of file" and how any file link that I click on
     directly starts saving to the temporary folder. Is there
     anyway I can have it checked again? Where do I go to
     change the settings for that?

i cant find the "Folder Options". Is Windows explorer different from Internet Explorer?
