Re: no prompt or downloading when clicking on link to file of some types

There may be no program associated with the .txt file type. Go to My Computer, Tools...Folder Options...File types. Scroll down to the .txt file type, make sure it says "Opens with" Notepad. If not, click the Change button. Check the other file type settings between the working and non-working systems.

when clicking on .ppt, .zip one prompts for download, the other behaves like for .txt
