Vista - Download Folder Problem

Download Folder Problem

My username downloads folder would immediately cause explorer to stop working and restart, so I was unable to do anything with my downloaded files. I don't believe I downloaded any harmful things but something was up with the files so I wanted to delete them anyway. My only option was to completely delete the downloads folder, and now I don't know how to get one back.

I saw on a separate forum to type shell:downloads (enter) in the start search but this only brought up a window saying the search had no results.

I hope to get a new username downloads folder that gets the files when I download from firefox, obviously simply creating a folder won't work

any help is appreciated
