In Firefox, select [Tools] then [Downloads] and you can then select a Directory/Folder to save stuff in from downloads.
To make it easier for MS Apps to find them, you could use C:\Documents and Settings\username\My documents. (username should be replaced with your real user name of course)

256868 2004-07-31 06:06:00 Ok done a bit of checking and have managed to move them about as "save as" but went to tools and changed options to always ask where to save . . . . .

then depending on what im downloading tells me then where it goes . . . .

i hope . . . . :D

i found that it all downloaded to a temp folder ( similar prob in a nother thread currently- somebody else's) and did not at first realise where it had downloaded to . . . so kept going back to my download box . . .

but i got there in the end .

thanxs for the prompt R2 .
