Re: where are files downloaded from IE automatically saved to?

Thanks Nonny,
That's a good solution to the file location problem. I guess I am more
concerned about not being able to see folders and files that are there
somewhere, but not available to windows explorer for some reason. Any
insight to that would be greatly appreciated.

Do yourself a big favor and patiently save the damned file to wherever
you want it and THEN open it from that location.

Your problem will be cured.

The location of this temporary folder from
the drop down of the save in box is:
Desktop\Todd\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet…\OLKFOE.

But, I can't find this location in windows explorer. I also can’t find it
when I try to drill down directly from the desktop. The Temporary Internet…
and OLKFOE folders either aren’t there or aren’t visible. How do I get vista
to let me see these? I also can't find the desktop folder. In xp, it was in
the documents and setting folder under the user, but vista doesn't show this.

Thanks,

Todd

Wherever you told it to save them last. If you don't remember, then start a

That's where you last download went.

Vista search can be a challenge to newbies because it chooses what to index
and what not. Rather than climb the hill, there are a lot of freeware search
tools that will handle the more obscure searches. An example is Agent
Ransack which I prefer, but there are many others.

Good luck.

Here's the deal:

I downloaded a Word document from my gmail account and edited it. When I
was done with my edits, I closed Word. The program asked me if I wanted
to
save changes to the file, and I said "yes." Word then closed. Only then
did
I realize that I had not saved the file to my personal files. This has
happened to me with previous versions of Word, and I've always been able
to
locate the temporary file in which the document is automatically saved.
After running multiple searches in Vista, I can't find the recently
modified
document. Any suggestions?
