When I download a file or document Vista (premium) will only save it in the
temporary internet files folder - for some weird reason. Which, in the new
labyrinth M$ calls Explorer, is not the easiest to find and a ****
nuiscience to keep looking for

[yes, I know I'll get used to the new Explorer like I did with XP]

I always like to have a folder on my desktop which can direct all downloads
too - I know where they are and they are immediately accessible...how do I
get it to happend by default in this new wonder?

Something must have gone amiss. The default download location is now a
folder called "downloads" which resides within "documents"

When I DL a file it give's me an option to place the file where I like. The
DL will automatically go to the internet temp folder but after the DL it
will be copied to what ever folder to told it to

So it might just be a Sony Vaio thing....there must be a way to change the
default folder.....I'll have to go digging around....unless someone has the
answer

Unless you use a better browser, then it just downloads it to where
you told it to go in the first place. :-)
