Download manager is not saving files in the chosen location, how do I fix this?

more options

I have gone into options and chosen a folder where I want my downloads stored. When I download a file, ie. an .avi file, the window always comes up on the show option and not on save. If I don't pay attention and hit enter the file is saved to my Temp folder and opens in my Divx player. I want all of the files to save to the folder that I have designated them to. This happens 90% of the time. The other 10% when I look at the window the option will be on save where it's supposed to be. I need to fix this so the option comes up on save all of the time and I can just his enter without having to check every time.

Change the Action for .avi ask you all the time, instead of opening with the program that it is now set for.
