How to change download notification settings

I just got a new computer with windows vista, but I am used to XP settings.
Whenever I download a file, a window pops up showing me the download
progress. It is the window that shows you recent files you have downloaded,
and has a "clean up" button to get rid of that download history. I find this
window annoying because I have to close it every time I download something
(as opposed to having the option of having that window close automatically
when the download completes). Is there a way to make this download
notification disappear? or change it to the XP -type notification that Im
used to.

Thanks in advance.

Seems like you have IE7Pro installed.
Look for its small blue round icon in your browser and click it to open preferences.
Click om Modules and uncheck the Mini Download Manager.Close and re-open your
Internet explorer. Next time you download something, you'll see the window you're
used to.

Thanks for the advice, I actually just figured out how to fix it. I have
Mozilla Firefox installed, and it was under "options". I thought it was a
setting in Vista, not my internet browser. thanks again
