Download from Yahoo Finance...

I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this question, but here it is. I'm running Windows XP and frequently download quotes from Yahoo Finance. In the past, my file appears in Excel format with a CSV extention as soon as I pull it up online and it got saved on my hard drive in the same matter. However, for some reason the past few days, instead of the file appearing in CSV format, it comes in "coma separated format" which is a slight pain to reformat. Anyone know how I can switch back to CSV format when I access Yahoo Finance?
