Downloading from Internet...
Posted by Asim on September 28th, 2005


Hello!
I have a problem downloading stuff from internet, When i start to download
it, it automatically opens it in Windows Media Player but i want to save it
on my hard disk tell me what can I do to save it. And also note that the link
on the website says download. To make it I have also deleted my windows media
player but it still automatically installs it before starting.
Thank You.

Right click select "save as" then the destination.

Have you tried right-clicking the link and choosing "Save target
as..."?

Are you using a download manager, if so, look for where the destination of
the file is being downloaded to, and change it to where you do want it to go,
but if not, use the right click and save as, and choose the destination where
you want it saved, I use my documents, in there I have a folder which I call
my downloads, everything goes in there, and when I've installed the programme
I delete the download, get rid of downloads you've already installed, save's
disk space, plus the dowloads useless after installation.
