Patty - I sympathizes with both you and "2" - both are "acceptable" views.
However "2" , although being correct, could have expressed himself in "a kinder and gentler" way. As to downloading from the internet - you are offered three options "Open", "Save" or "Cancel. I personally recommend selecting the "Save" option. Before the actual download - notice that you are asked where to save the file - the default listed will be the location to which a file was last saved. You can select the location you prefer or will remember (My Documents is a safe bet) - you can also give the file a name of your choice if you prefer. Repeat - at the top of the download dialogue box the location will be displayed and at the bottom the file name. "Patty" wrote in message ...

Depending on the build you are running you will most likely find the files
in your 'Documents' folder or in newer builds if you go to 'c:\Users\your username\Downloads' you should be able to find your downloads. Also if you know the filename you can do a search for the file.
