Save Target As....

W

Wizard

OK, I download a ~1gb file and it gets stashed somewhere (Temporary
InternetFfiles?) and then it gets COPIED to the target folder that I
specified. My hard disk is really jumping while the copy is going on. If
the file's temporary location is on the same drive as the target location,
why do the COPY and not a MOVE? Can I change a registry setting to change
this behavior?

Thanks, Wizard

No, this behavior is "by design", and has been for IE since at least the IE
3.x days. I don't know of any way to change this.
