Vista - Downloaded Dell Software and Apps - Where do I put them?

**Wandering Flame** · 10-13-2009

I guess the the app files kinda run by themselves when you double click them so it doesn't matter where they are on your computer. I could be wrong though.

However what about the ZIP files? I remember once using the Dell resource CD and it would download some of these ZIP files...but they would put them somewhere in my program files folder. That is why I was willing to use the CD more since it would place these files in the correct place (I mean I'm not going to put them on my desktop for instance).

So where do I put the ZIP files? There are only ZIP and application files.

Thanks.

Install first by double clicking, then if you want to save them, either make a folder as suggested or burn them to a disc, and then send them to the recycle bin. ed

Back them up to a single 2GB flash drive is a good idea too.
