This is not a function of Windows but a function of the browser you
use. I do not know if it possible to tweak IE to make it do what you
require but Firefox will certainly do it.
Speaking of directing downloads to My Documents (or another specified
folder)
I asked this question awhile back, and got no response (that I saw
within a couple of days)
For SOME strange reason, I can create a folder on the fly pretty much
anywhere BUT on my desktop. The way I work on my computer, my desktop
is my "catch-all" because it's quick, and it's always pretty much
"right there". I will work for several hours, doing all sorts of
things, and create a dozen or more folders, fill them, deposit them to
my desktop, and then when I reach a stopping point, I go to my desktop
and sort out stuff and put it in a logical place.
My problem is, I can create folders in My Folder, no problem. I can
create folders in Program Files, no problem. I can create folders on C
or D or E or F (partitions)
However, for SOME unknown reason, whether I'm in Word or Excel, or
online, if I go to my Desktop to try to create a folder, I can't do
it. You know, the window where the work icons run across the top of
the window, and like the 4th icon over is "Create a New Folder". If
I'm on my desktop in IE, or in Word or whatever, I can't Create a New
Folder. I CAN hit my "Clear the Desktop Icon" (Quick Launch), go to
the desktop, right click, and create/ then name a new folder, THEN go
back to the app, click on "Desktop" (on the left), and THEN save to
the folder I've created.
However, I can't create folders on the desktop from within other apps.
Guesses as to why?
Fixes?
Thanks in advance.
(oh, and it SEEMS to have been this way since I bought my new copy of
XP Pro, but that's a GUESS)
Talahassee
