Go to start button and click RUN. Type in REGEDIT and the do a edit|find for your current folder name. Change the path to the folder you want and save and exit.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I put a folder on my desktop and named it Incoming. When ever I download anything I direct it to this folder. The path for me is C:\Desktop\Incoming. No need to edit the Registry to do this. This keeps downloads in one place and makes it easy to find them and make copies if I ever need them again. I then install from this folder . I hope I didn't misunderstand your question and what you are attempting to accomplish. HTH

I have a current folder that is set up for my downloads as Richard suggested, but I am trying to help an older gentleman set his up. I will try to find the path per Dan's instructions and see what I come up with. I knew I could count on the folks at this forum for help, as always. Thank you both so much.

There is also a third party utility which will allow you to do this. It is called X-Setup

It is available here.

Good luck.

Thanks, Dan. It looks like a good site. Here is the key I was looking for, in case anyone else might have the same need.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Click on Internet Explorer and in the right window is:
(Default) and Download Directory "pathname".
