You know when you download something and that box comes up and asks you where you want to save? How do you change the destination if you check the little box that says "always save to this location"?

Ah. Hmmm... I have been spoiled using FF. It makes it so much easier....

Ok. The only way that I see to do this, is to go into settings-> advanced, and hit reset settings. This will set your browser back to default, but should reset the DL place.

Hi,

If you are comfortable editing the registry ( always make a back up first ),

Open regedit

Scroll down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.

In the right pane, right click "Download Directory"

Select "Modify", enter the path to your new download directory. Make sure to type this exactly right. Click "OK".

Hope it helps

Or you could just edit the registry... That works too. Thanks SIW2 I didn't remember where that was. :)
