Possibly not  a related issue but I once had a problem with files being
stuck in the virtual folder after download. The virtual folders are hidden
from explorer but the file did turn up in an extended search. Don't remember
what the cause was but it only affected specific downloads at the time. I
created a shortcut to the virtual download folder in case it ever happened
again. The location would be similar to the following if you want to try
browsing to the folder directly:

"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet
Files\Virtualized\C\Users\<username>\Documents\Downloads"

Hi again,

I know it's been 2 weeks or so, but I still can't keep/store a
downloaded file using IE7 nor Firefox 3.  I took your advice and used
the Disk Cleanup utility, and temporarily had success with keeping
files using IE7, but no more.  I used Disk Cleanup twice today,
rebooted each time, but to no avail.  It's so weird to not be able to
download files after doing this for 14.5 years.  Any help/advice would
be highly appreciated.  Thanks again!

Chrome does not use the %TEMP% folder, so my guess is that you have some
corrupt files in that folder. In System Tools, on the Start menu, you will
find Disk Cleanup. Delete your TEMP files, and restart windows to test
your
downloading functions.

Hi,

I use Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit). Whether I use IE7 or
Firefox, when I download a file, everything looks good. But then when
I go to the designated folder, it's not there. However, when I use
Google Chrome, it ends up being there. This includes all types of
files, even right-clicking on an image and saving it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi RalfG,

Thanks for the reply and info. I tried typing in the path through
Windows Explorer, but to no avail. After I got past ...C\Users\David
I couldn't find \Documents\Downloads. At that point, I only had three
folders named AppData, Pictures, and Searches. Maybe I'll try through
a DOS box. (?) Do you have any advice at this point?
