Change default Internet Explorer Download Directory
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer Create a new String value, or modify the existing value, called Download Directory Value Name: Download Directory Data Type: REG_SZ Value Data: Path to the folder -- Hope this helps.

IE downloads all files to TIF first and then copies them to the final location, so even if you direct it to download to a place on D: it will go to C: first unless you have moved TIF to D: -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE Please respond in Newsgroup only.
