Re: Where files and downloads are being saved

First up (off topic), since this appears to be a 2nd-hand computer, I'd do a fresh install of Windows.

You don't know what's been on it (in terms of viruses, malware etc), and there's also an issue of the legitimate transfer of the licence for Vista. Did you receive all the disks etc with this computer, along with the CD-Key code (sticker is probably attached to the case, or with the documentation/disk containers)

Anyway back to the question.

Generally the 'save/download' location is set through whatever browser you're using. e.g., in Firefox you go to Tools/Options, and in the "set download location" section it gives options to save to a particular folder all the time, or it can be set so it will prompt you where to save the file. Other browsers would have similar options.

I expect it's the same with office suite or similar such application like Open Office or MS Office. Usually the save routine (where saving a file for the first time) will prompt you to save where you want to, and it might default to the "last saved in" location, or to a specified folder as set through that application's options. In any case I'm sure it's not actually something you can set in Vista itself.

If this is not the sort of thing you're asking about, can you be more specific?

I need some help for saving files and downloads I want to change the location
name.
That name that it is being saved in now is the old owner of the computer I
want to change that name. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks
