go to a folder of my choice.

The option to change the default save location is in the Download pop-up box
that appears whenever you start a new download. After clicking the Save
button, just browse to the location you want the file to be saved to. The
new location will be retained for subsequent file downloads.

R-click, Save Target As, pick the location.

Run regedit and navigate to,

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]

Change the "Download Directory" to where ever you want the location to be.
But if the user then decides to select a different location this key will
change to the different location.

I don't know anyway to make it a permenant change.

What browser are you using to download?
