Escape Key Cancels File Download

[Guest HTFiddler]

This is really frustrating. I start a long file download ... say 30

minutes to an hour, and I accidentally tap the Esc (escape) key and

the "File Download" dialog disappears without warning! I might be 55

minutes into a 1 hr. download, and then, bingo ... it's gone! I would

expect a courtesy "Do you really want to cancel the download? [Cancel]

[Continue]" at that point. I'm wondering if perhaps there is a

checkbox hidden on some tab of some Control Panel dialog in Windows XP

that can be set to avoid this problem. Anyone aware of such, or any

other workaround???

 

Many thanks,
