file prompts: open or save?
 

In winXP:
Open Windows explorer
Tools|Folder Options|File Types tab
Scroll down to XLS
Click the Advanced button
Check "Confirm after download"

You may want to do the same thing with all the excel files (.xla, .xlsm,
..xlsb...) as well as your other favorite extensions (.doc???).
