AnyOne know how to DL files DIRECTLY to where you want, rather than windows take over and DL to C:, then copy to where you wanted the DL to go?
I run out of room on C all the time.
Thanks, John.

I created a NEW FOLDER on drive C named My downloads.
Now when ever i download a program i just browse to My download folder and dwnload to that folder.

I also created a Folder on my Desk top,named Desk Top downloads, sometimes i also direct some of my downloads to that folder on my desk top.
Good Luck

I'm at a site attempting to Dl a 247MB file. I click on the file and select save to H: drive. I click OK. Ten minutes later I'm getting that "you're running out of space on C:drive" nag screen. I DON'T want the file saved to C: drive. I want to save the file to the drive where I have room.

Is there something in the registry to stop windows from doing this?

Thanks, John.

What?
Any file from anywhere . . .
Try it and see.

It happens on a regular basis.
Usually I GoTo a ftp client to get the file
but sometimes it's convenient to just click
and watch it happen.
There must be a way around this!!

John.
