Location of temporary downloaded files

[Steve Freides]

When I download a file by clicking on a link in IE6 then choosing "Save" and
picking a network location for my file, the file is first saved locally then
copied to the specified network location. I got to watch this happen just
now with a 300Meg+ file - it took almost a minute to copy from the temp
location to the final location.

Is there any way to tell IE to put my files directly where I want them
without resorting to a temporary copy on a local disk first?

TIA.

Set your file type association correctly.


You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.
