Downloading problem
I have a problem here. I'm using Windows 7 and IE8.
Yesterday I unfortunately made an error and now IE automatically downloads zipfiles without asking me first what I want to do.
The annoying thing is that once the download is finished Windows automatically opens the zip file.
How can I change that back to how it was?

Use Windows' "System Restore" to roll Windows back to a previous state when your computer was functioning correctly:

Crap. That has been quite some time ago. No other possibility?

"Yesterday" is "some time ago"?

I think he means the last restore point was some time ago.

Last restore point was about 6 weeks ago.

What if I wait for IE9? Will the problem be solved once I install the new version?

Doubt it but, you never know.

If all else fails, you can try an IE Reset. No guarantees it will solve this particular issue but if it's an IE issue, it's got a good chance. If you have any customized settings, it will blast them but I have found doing a reset has fixed some odd problems for me.
You can find it when running IE under Tools | Internet Options | Advanced (tab) at the bottom of the page. Again, remember that it sets everything back to the way it was (settings-wise) when you first ran IE.
