Everytime I download a file classic starts up to unstuff it. Is there anyway I can just stay in OS X for this minor operation?

The only thing I could think of was to deselect the choices to automatically decode download files in the IE prefs panel. Once I did that, Classic stopped booting up Stuffit Expander and now the files just reside on the desktop as stuffed files. After I am done online, I just launch the OS X version of Stuffit Expander.

Hope this helps.

I've gotten around that problem by having stuffit for X launch at login and leaving it open. When I download something, it automatically opens it. Now if I could just get pdf's to open automatically, I'd be happy...
