When the file went to your "Downloads" file was that automatic, or the default but you had the choice to redirect it?<br /><br />I really don't like programs that tell ME where I want to put something (whether downloading to the Downloads folder, or automatically installing on the C drive when I have a P drive set up for programs). If they're just going automatically to Downloads, then maybe that's something else they can fix.<br /><br />Dave LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-8235486174748608072013-07-30T17:33:21.497-07:002013-07-30T17:33:21.497-07:00Hope they fix this soon.
