or....
Save As location change
To change the default folder to which Internet Explorer will save items, you
must change the value for Personal in the following registry keys to specify
the new location:
HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders
HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

You can download TweakUI from here:

The tab you are looking for is called My Computer and the lower area has a
location of special folders option.
For XP
