Because Vista isn't XP for a start.
 
oh how droll, ask a question get a really pleb answer. So I suppose
Microsoft have designed a new OS that doesn't integrate with previous
versions, I should have known, oh silly me. Microsoft thought that they
would write a completely new os and didn't tell any of the rest of the
software developers, how remiss of them...... I don't think
so...................anyway Conor, enjoy being a grumpy old shit.....oops
sorry there was another thing that vista does......... deletes
words......... xp wouldn't do that
 
many people have had downloads dissapear entirely. I had a Vista x64 ISO
dissapear, and the only place I could find it was in a "Save As" dialog box.
it had the attribute "N", which apparently hid it from all other parts of
windows, even windows XP. I deleted the ISO through the dialog box, to free
up 4GB of hard drive space.
 
figure it out. you need to turn off protected mode in internet explorer. the
files you have already downloaded are in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet
Files\Virtualized\C\Users\Username\Documents (or Desktop, or wherever you
saved it.)
 
That sounds right. The Internet Zone is always an untrusted zone so any
files downloaded are sandboxed.
 
good idea for security, but the average user is going to be upset when they
can't find the 4GB file they just spent hours (or days) downloading.
 
Thx guys I appreciate your comments

Doesn't the requester come up after download is complete asking if you want
to open the folder?
 
if you have that option turned on. I think it's turned off by default, and I
normally have it turned off.
