I need to reset the (global) default location for all downloads using IE-8.
I'd like this to be done without downloading other add-on software
(powertoys) - or manually selecting each application and designating the
location of extensions individually.

Isn't there a simple feature similar to Word or Excel where a location can
be set as the default for all files downloaded thru IE?

This is hour 2 trying to find the answer on MS site and I'm just a little
frustrated - Sorry!

Try the web. Use this as your search term:

change internet explorer default download location

You'll find many hits with solutions.

Just enter the path here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"Download Directory"="C:\\Folder"
