Is there some setting in MSIE, in the registry or some plugin/add-on that will let me get rid of the yellow download bar that pops up at the bottom of the window when I try to download something (with alternatives open, save, cancel and save-as), and instead have the MSIE-8 style popup dialog?
This yellow bar makes it difficult to test a site using Watin. And actually I am currently not able to test downloading at all because of this yellow bar. In MSIE 8 it worked as expected since there was the normal popup dialog window.
What is the solution?
