Firefox has one big advantage. It has a *selectable* default folder

It took me about two minutes to find out, using Help, how to set the
default download folder in Internet Explorer.

I had to look it up because I don't usually use IE, but as I said, two
minutes to learn how...

BTW, I then followed the instructions. They work.


I'm still confused.

The help file gives:

***
Where are downloaded files saved?

When you download files, Windows usually saves them in the Downloads
folder, which is located under your user name in the Users folder on
the drive where Windows is installed (for example C:\users\your
name\downloads). When you are saving the file, you can choose to save
it to a different folder. Some different types of files are saved to
different folders by default. For example, if you right-click a
picture on a webpage and then choose Save Picture As from the menu,
the picture will be saved to the Pictures folder by default. If you're
not sure where the file was saved, you can search for it from the
Start menu.

This means I can sent the image anywhere I want, but I can't make the
change permanent. I have to remember every time.

Peter.
