Any way to disable the automatic unzipping when you download a zip file?

For example, say I want to download a .zip archive, and have it stay a .zip archive so I can upload it somewhere else.
The problem with re-zipping it is that I don't want it to be a Mac .zip file with bogus resource forks and DS_STORE files in it (for Windows users). Any zip file you create on a Mac usually has these bogus extra files inside it - confusing to Windows users. If I download a Windows .zip, I want to keep it as a .zip that was zipped on Windows, if you follow me.

Thank you! I was looking in the System preferences everywhere - did not think of Safari itself.
BTW, for anyone who cares, I also discovered that in Safari, even when you have the Preferences set to automatically unzip the files, you can override this by control-clicking on the file and choosing "Download Linked File as..."

  • Any way to disable the automatic reboot when a TS fails?

    When a Task Sequence fails it displays an error and then reboots after 15 minutes.  Is there any way to turn this off?  We usually setup a bunch of machines to image and then go work on other things.  Then we go back to check the machines
    later.  If something crashed, it will just be sitting at a logon screen with no indication that anything is wrong.
    Can we turn off the automatic reboot somehow or extend the time to an hour or two or anything like that?  Seems silly to force them to reboot without an option to turn that off but I can't find a setting anywhere.
    Thanks.

    There is a built-in variable you can use to define (extend) the time: SMSTSErrorDialogTimeout

    Can I set this globally in the system somewhere or do I have to do it inside the task sequence?

  • Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

    Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"  is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library. 
    The thing is:  I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality.  It is so much more convenient and user friendly.  Given the choice between having the display seperate from the  processing, or having it be convenient and easy  to work with, I choose the later option.
    For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system..   I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
    Possible or no?

  • Is there any way to disable the expanding scroll bars in Mountain Lion?

    Since I never scroll by dragging the scroll bars with the cursor, I find the expansion of the scroll bars to be a distracting and even productivity limiting feature. Is there any way to disable the expansion of the scroll bars (perhaps with a terminal command)? System Preferences doesn't have an option to switch this feature off as far as I'm concerned.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    No!

  • Is there any way to disable the firefox search option when you long press the home button on Samsung Galaxy S5 Active?

    I have an S5 Active and sometimes the home button sticks and registers as a long press which brings up Firefox search instead of going to the home screen. Is there any way to disable Firefox Search so that this doesn't happen. I Love the Firefox browser but if this keeps happening I will have to uninstall it.

    hello djpianalto, you could clear the default settings for firefox on android within the system settings (like described in this [http://www.howtogeek.com/195885/how-to-set-and-clear-a-default-app-on-an-android-device/ external article]).
    or try an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hk.sld.SwipeLaunchDisabler

  • Is there any way to disable the use of the "Delete" key to delete an email message?

    It's very frustrating when I hit the delete key and iCloud automatically erases the selected email message.  I receive some HTML formatted emails that include a text box that I can utilize to directly reply to something.  If I don't make any mistakes at all, I can utilize this box and post a reply.  But if I mess up and need to delete text, instead of deleting text iCloud deletes the email message.  Is there any way to disable this?
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't believe it's possible to disable the delete key, but could be wrong. However, if you delete an email in error, you can restore it by pressing cmd + Z to undo the deletion.

  • HT4314 I have two games Tribez and Tribez and Castles on my iPad. I have to send my iPad Air back for repair to crack glass. Is there any way to save the games., for when I have to restore back up

    I have two games tribez and tribez and Castle. As my new iPad air has a cracked screen I have to send it back for repair. I have to do a reset and restore backup when I get it back. Is there any way to back up above games. On tribez I have reached level 99 and will be annoying to starts again.

    Do you have a computer with iTunes on it that you have associated the iPad with?
    If the answer is yes, simply set iTunes up to back up the device locally, fully sync the apps, photos, movies, etc. A copy of everything, including the config of the device and all your settings (scores) will be made on the computer's drive. This even includes a backup copy of all the apps. When you get the replacement device (probably a refurbished blank unit), a Restore from that backup will totally reconstruct what you have today.
    If the answer is no, you will have quite a bit more work to do in order to get back to the original state that the iGadget is currently in (minus the crack).

  • Is there any way to disable the log-in process?

    Hi,
    take a look at:
    Preferences
    Users & Groups
    Login Options
    At the top you can (de-) activate the automatic login.
    Does it work for you?

  • Is there any way to disable the lock screen with out the screen staying on?

    I know there is away to disable the pass lock but is there a way to disable the screen from locking every time the screen goes off? cause it's so much easier to just press the answer button than to slide it to unlock. phone versions iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c.

    You're confusing a direct answer with a rude one.  Wjosten's reply wasn't rude.  It was accurate and direct, without any sugercoating.  You can't get the device to operate the way that you want (lock the screen, but not really 'lock' the screen).  It's not a 'screensaver' like on your computer.  It's a lock screen, designed to prevent accidental activation of the device screen, and possibly launching apps, making phone calls, etcetera.
    If you want an option added that allows the device to do what you want, tell Apple.
    www.apple.com/feedback
    This is a technical assistance forum, not an 'emotional assistance' forum.  Wjosten was not rude or insulting in any way.  You were.
    This is where we tell you how to solve your technical issues.  There are no shoulders to cry upon here.
    Direct, accurate information.  That's what wjosten provided.

    Odd though as that is off by default. 

  • K1 any way to disable the Home Button?

    I hate this button!  I am always hitting it by mistake.  I can never remember if swiping up is for menu or swiping down is for back or what... I never use it... is there any way to disable it?  The only slightly useful thing about it is the screen capture... but again, not used much... HELP!

    Same here, the only reason I like the button for is for taking a screen shot.
    Maybe something could be added to the settings to disable this button?

    The phone is physically intact, but you can see the LCD is cracked behond the glass. I have tried plugging it in, tried putting it on the charger, and resetting it using the off and home buttons, bit response. I don't need the phone to work, but I do need to be bale to back it up in order to restore to the new phone.  Is there any way to extract the data or back up the hard drive without repairing the phone?  Just curious what my options are before I spend cash trying to fix the phone and find out there was another way to get the data.  Any thoughts here or should a good repair shop being able to create a backup somehow?
