Automatically open downloaded file?

Also note that you can open files that you have just downloaded by double-clicking on their icons in the Safari Downloads window, rather than having to navigate to your downloads folder to find and open them.

In Safari in Windows, the preferences settings are here: Edit > Preferences. But I don't think the option to open "Safe" files exists in the Windows version.

The shortcuts I described in my previous post for the Safari Downloads window work in Safari in Windows as well.

Check the Safari > General preferences; there's an option to open "Safe" files after downloading.
