i saved jpgs and could not save in a particular folder. i had to save in
another folder and then move them to desired folder. how can you set
downloads for a particular folder? my download manager only specifies to
desktop. i use xp home edition.
 
Change default Internet Explorer Download Directory

Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
Create a new String value, or modify the existing value, called Download
Directory
Value Name: Download Directory
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: Path\to\the\folder

Path\to\the\folder I.e.
C:\Documents and Settings\WESLEY P. VOGEL\My Documents\My Download Files

Specify the Default Internet Explorer Download Directory
