Preview of LOG files causes File Download?

[j_c_hallgren]

I'll put this here, as not sure how to categorize it...when I try to preview some of my .LOG files, instead of it opening file directly, I get the "File Download" prompt asking if I want to download the file from where it is and "Save" the file...well, duh...it's already on MY system at that location...I know that XY uses the IE interface, but why does it act like that?

By unchecking the .log type in config, then XY shows file same as raw, and given that .log and .txt both show NotePad icon, why doesn't it open the same way?

I *think* it has to do with some MIME-type settings that control the way IE handles opening/downloading files. I admit: I never succeeded to really understand how this works and where to configure it...
