When downloading files from my bank into MS Money the default was to open directly into MS Money. Recently I needed to save the file to Desktop but faile to unclick 'do this for all files in future' box. Now I cannot download files directly into MS Money and it goes straight to 'save file'. How do I get back to the option of opening the file directly into MS Money. I have tried restting using 'about:config' and resetting 'user set' but it hasn't worked or I haven't found the correct item to reset.

Hi mgak,

Have you tried going to Tools > Options > Applications and changing the behavior there?

If that doesn't work you should look at the article Preferences not saved.


Hopefully this helps!
