Saving An Online File
On my Win XP Pro desktop, when I go to download an application or file from
a website, I click on Save, it saves it to the desktop. How can I get the option back to save it to the folder of my choice? Thanks! Scott |

Scott does it save without giving any optionssuch as 3 buttons 'open' 'save' and 'cancel' if you dont get those options you could try right clicking and 'save target as' if you have a box with the 3 options you should click save, then another box will open from which you browse to the folder you wish to save in. If you just click save then the file will be saved to wherever is in the destination 'save in' box |

Then you can browse to the preferred folder. -- Joe =o) |

If you just click save then the file will be saved to wherever is in the destination 'save in' box Yes, I get 3 options...open, save, and cancel. What I used to do is hit Save, and a box would open up to to give me a choice where to save it. Now when I hit Save, it always saves it to the Desktop by default. I think some setting must have changed. Scott |
