I wanted to download a .divx file. The downloadmanager showed that it will open the file with VLC. Instead of clicking on download, I accidentally clicked on the tickbox "Do this always...." and ok "OK" How can I restore this. The downloadmanager does not open anymore, not even for other files, they are downloaded directly. Thanks for any help
