Each time I save it may be to a different location Please can you advise?

But since I have already been burnt once when I edited the registry (the PC wouldn't boot and I had to pay a technician to reinstall the OS for me) I stay away from from such solutions. The most elegant and the most cost effective solution I found so far was a 99 cents utility called "My Preferred Download Folder": http://www.softwarecandy.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_free_shipping_info&cPath=2&products_id=59 Hope this helps.

I accidentially clicked the "don't show" box on the screen that let me pick the directory. Now, I can't get that back. How do I do this? How do I recover the ability to assign downloaded mp3 files to a directory? Thanks a lot! BG When I try to download mp3 files (ie7-vista), they go straight to a temporary file.
