Question: The right half of your explorer window is divided into these different categories—Files, Drives, Devices, etc. How did you get this kind of a display? The right half of my Explorer window just shows the folders within the folder highlighted on the left. Typically, I specify the specific folder for ALL my downloads. I recently was given 20 free downloadable music tracks by a magazine I subscribe to.
Did I download them, or was I mislead into thinking that they would download? But I have a related question. I frequently download many files from the web in a session and save them to specific local or network folders from Internet Explorer or from Microsoft Word or Acrobat, etc. How can I get either application to remember the last folder used in the Save As dialog?

Good tip for downloading pdf. Still have to search for files too often. Can you give me a method to open them? The article addresses where downloaded files end up, however they apparently are downloaded to a temporary place before being moved to the location mentioned in the article or specified by the user. One can observe this when downloading a large file, say greater than 30 MB. First you get the usual dialog box asking where you wish to save the file to.
Then the file downloads. Then a box pops up saying that the file is being copied to the destination that you selected. As I mentioned, if the downloaded file is large, then this coping takes a while a few seconds and you notice this copy occuring by the pop-up box. Thus, it makes sense that IE waits to copy the entire successfully downloaded file to the location that you specified originally.
However, suppose that you have MB of free space on your disk, and you want to download a MB file. This should work, but does not. The file may download successfully, leaving you with 50 MB free disk space. Then when IE tries to copy the MB file that is already on your hard drive to the download location that you specified originally, it FAILS since there is no space left! IE obviously should MOVE the file to your destination rather than copy, it which leaves 2 copies on the disk.
IE5 areas to locate the file that was downloaded but not copied over to your desired destination. You can then work with the file, or MOVE not copy if running out of disk space it to a useful location. Note that the file name of this temporay file may be cryptic.
