Vista - Where Did it Go?

I downloaded both the X86 and the X64 versions of RC-1 and it was saved to:

Gary\Documents but I am unable to find the files now.
Its like they just disappeared, cant find them but the Download manager says
that it already exists.

Any ideas what is happening with this?

Did you do a file search for the file name?

Yeah, and it finds nothing but Newsgroup postings.

I had the same problem when I did the download in Vista Beta 2. I
downloaded it twice and both times it disappeared. I could not find it in a
search. I rebooted into XP and successfully downloaded it.

The dreaded 'sandboxing' strikes again. The downloads are there, but you
can't see them. Protected Mode in IE7 I believe is the culprit. The files
have been sideshifted into a sandbox, for your protection of course

Actually getting them back to where you downloaded them to is another thing.
Internet Options > Advanced > uncheck "Check for signatures on downloaded
programs". If the downloads don't appear in your folder, then try turning
off Protected Mode.

This disappearing of downloads is going to cause severe problems when Vista
goes retail.

I think that I needed to do the very same thing with Pre RC-1.
Download it into XP and burn the ISO from there.

This happened to me too. I was using the Vista Beta machine and the Akimai
downloader did not produce the file after the file was downloaded. But this
was not a problem with the download repeated on XP. I wonder if there is an
inherit problem with Vista

I think it has something to do with IE's Protected Mode and
and "virtual" folders that's messing some people up. Maybe
the use of "virtual" is wrong, but I'm sure IE treats downloads
differently, now. Maybe, someone else can explain it better.

This is all very lovely when downloaded from IE7... but what if the same type
of problem also exists when downloading with a 3rd party app... such as mIRC,
Limewire and so forth...eh? I have this "na na na na na na...I'm hiding yer
files!" thing happing within these apps as well.
