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.
