Files disapears

[Paaske]

When i try to download files from, for example my hotmail, i always target it
for my desktop, to be sure that i can find it again.That just dont work
anymore. The files disapears. I have searched for them everywhere, and i can
find the shortcuts, but they are just dead ends. A boks is popping up, saying
that the shortcut dosent work anymore and that the files they are refering
to, are changed ore moved.
I have checked my firewall to see if i have changed any settings, but i
dosent seems like it. Im almost giving up.
If any of you, got the sligthest idea, please come forward and you will make
a Dane very gratefull

The simplest solution is to create a new folder on your desktop and save all
downloads to it.

Hi Bob; thanks for your answer, but i have already tried that and several
other things like, usb storage device, extern harddisk and i have even tried
to download to my mobilephone connected to the pc, without any luck.

System Restore to a time before the problem started.
