Hi Matt -

Maybe this:
Folder options> File Types is what you're looking for (perhaps).
The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating system. The
possible paths are:

Explorer - View - Folder Options - File Types
Explorer -Tools - Folder Options - FileTypes
Start - Settings - Folder Options - File Types
Start - Settings - Control Panel - Folder options - File Types

Once there, scroll down to the file type(s) in question (or whatever *other*
type of download
file that you would like the save option dialogue box to appear for)>
Highlight it (select) >edit (or advanced) button> and check the box for
"Confirm open after download"> OK> OK out.

HTH -
