Explorer = Windows Explorer

Open (or double-click) " My Computer" . You'll see your CD, disk drives
listed. THAT is Windows Explorer , then go up top pf that window to
Tools , then - Folder Options, File Types -- scroll down to the OFX
file, click on advanced, and then click on "confirm open after
download". This will give you the choice of opening or saving the file.
If you want to view it, opt to save it.

Hi, I was involved in this exchange (see below) a few weeks ago and would
appreciate clarification / follow-up, to the question? Thanks you, Bob

The way to save the ofx files is to open a folder in Explorer, go to Tools
- Folder Options, File Types -- scroll down to the OFX file, click on
advanced, and then click on "confirm open after download". This will give you
the choice of opening or saving the file. If you want to view it, opt to save
it.
To send it to Notepad, open the "sendto" folder (Start - Run - Sendto will
do that), right click in the folder, select new - then shortcut - then enter
"notepad.exe".
Go back to the folder where the ofx file is located, right-click, send to,
select notepad.


I am not quite sure what you mean by open a folder in Explorer, go to Tools
- Folder Options, File Types -- scroll down to the OFX file, click on
advanced, and then click on "confirm open after download".
By Explorer do you mean Internet Explorer? I did a search for OFX and found
an OFX.DLL file which I tried to open with NotePad and when I opened it, I
got gobiligoog.
Thank for your help Michael,
Bob
