Solution
If you Right Click the Downloads folder on the left pane in Explorer
Click the Location Tab and you can change the location of Downloads folder.

tblount ** if you dump cookies or temp inet files, or reset some settings, then that location will no longer be saved.
Doing it the way you say will work,, but is mostly temporary and at some point you will have to reset it.

It's the last save location.
When a file starts to download, simply click "save" then pick a location (such as Desktop) from the left hand plane. It will save downloads to that location for all future downloads UNLESS you change it.
 


i know but its not that what i'm talking about i remember a folder "Download" when you right-click/properties you can change the Location or where your Downloads saved like how you changing your "MyPictures,MyMusic,MyVideos and Documents" but i can't remember it or where to change it now

Here.. just do it the easy way... download this small file that just has some text in it

and set it to go to the folder of your choice ... you can even cancel then without actually downloading it. Voila ! Your downloads will be changed to that location you have picked.

You may find you have a mess if you start changing some of those folders you have mentioned... windows will probably just rebuild them. Remember Microsoft knows best ! :cool:
