Where Did My Download Manager Go? Need Help Finding Download Box!

rvjimzhr · Dec 27, 2010

I'm having a problem locating my DOwnload Manager. When I download a file the Download box pops up with the file visible. If I try to minimize this box it disappears rather than going to the taskbar where other minimized programs go. When I search for "Downloads" all I get is "Audible Download Manager". The only way I can find this elusive Download box with all my previous downloads in it is to download something else to get the box to appear. PLEASE where is this box? Thanks!

You might try looking in your username/Downloads folder. It should put downloads there by default.

Internet Explorer 8 has no download manager. I personally use Firefox as my browser and it has an awesome download manager.

Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client

Or you could try one (or more) of these add on download managers. I'm sorry but I can't tell you a thing about any of them.

Hello and Welcome !

Use this Tutorial Notification Area Icons - Hide or Show System Icons and Notifications - Windows 7 Forums and see if it's under Notification Area.

Hope this helps,
