A. When you select a link to a .tif file in IE, the browser will always prompt you to either open or save the file unless you clear the “Always ask before opening this type of file” check box. However, a bug in IE 6.0 can cause the browser to lose this setting, forcing you to make a decision each time you access a .tif file.
