I have a user with a problem in which Internet Explorer automatically opens .csv files (Excel) in the IE window. There used to be a popup when you went to download the file that asked if you wanted to Open or Save it. He must have unchecked the box that said to "always ask before opening this type of file." I want to get that back.
I have already tried 3 different fixes:
1. The Registry entry "Excel.Sheet.8" in HKCU. I deleted it...this fix works on another computer, but not this one for some reason.
2. I have tried going to Folder Options and then File Types and then the Advanced button and checked/unchecked the "Confirm open after download" checkbox. This didn't work either.
3. I have removed and reinstalled Internet Explorer. This didn't work either.
Is there anything else I can try other than swapping out the computer for a new one?

I cannot install FireFox or any other alternative browser because all of the Intranet sites are made to be compatible with IE. We have to use IE.
