I have been trying to download a zip file from a web site but it only downloads in a internet explorer folder how can I change that?

I have vista premium 64bit

Thanks

Hello climberman, welcome.

To change the download location in IE, you have to get into the registry.
To do this, enter regedit, and follow this path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Right click on the white region of Regedit's right hand pane, click New, and then click String Value
Enter Download Directory for the name of the new DWORD Value and press Enter. The new value should now appear in Regedit's right-hand column.
Right click the new value and choose Modify.
Click Modify and set the Value Data field to be the path to the directory you want IE to send downloads, then click OK.

First I am not sure this is what I need to do but also I don't know how to enter regredit

Well this will change the download path of IE. I don't know another way to do it.

To get into regedit, search for regedit, and click on it on the task bar.
