Download Panel has Disappeared

A highly skilled user from my user community has reported that the
download panel no longer appears when downloading or trying to
download a file from the Internet.

I've searched Google, Yahoo, MSN and can't find any method for
reactivating the download panel.

I don't know whether it's an Internet Explorer, Windows Registry, or
some other feature or control.

Does anyone have an answer or advice? Thanks.

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to the file type in question and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Check the box for "Confirm open after download".
