change the download location Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

I would like to change the "My Documents" folder, which includes the "Downloads" folder, meaning I want to move it from drive C to D because drive C is becoming insufficient even after I clean it. However, the problem is that after I move it, it will be recreated automatically, and therefore drive C will be full again. How can I solve this problem? I really need your help, and it's very urgent! Thank you in advance.

For Internet Explorer, simply download a file type to a location and Internet Explorer will remember the last download location.
For Mozilla Firefox, in "Tools", then in "Options...", in the "Downloads" section, check either "Save files to this folder", and just to the right click on "Browse" to set the location where all file types will be downloaded, or you can check "Always ask me where to save files", which will allow you to manually choose where to save your files, but it will remember, like Internet Explorer, the last location where the most recent file was saved.

For each download, choose the location on hard drive D: for each type of file. But what are you downloading with?

Anonymous user · Answer

what system do you have?
create a folder on D:\ named "my documents".
right-click on the shortcut "my documents" in the start menu, then properties > in the properties window, click on location, and there you can specify your desired path, namely D:\my documents! ;)

So, Assmouna, if you want support, you need to reply. Operating system and which browser? -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.

Good evening, well my operating system is Windows XP and I have installed the Windows 7 theme for the design in parallel (I don't think it has anything to do with my problem).

Mon problème est que je ne veux pas que le téléchargement se fasse dans le dossier par défaut qui est "Téléchargements" sous mes documents, mais je veux qu'il m'indique de choisir l'emplacement. J'attends vos réponses.

Reply given by Karto_bizzX --> Open Firefox, tools, options, general tab, in downloads, check: always ask where to save files and OK. Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.

Ok, I tried it and I thank you all, but I have one more little question: with this method, can I guarantee that my reader will no longer complain since all my downloads will be on D? Because before, there was always a message telling me that space on C was running low.

You will have to give him the path every time so that downloads go to the downloads folder in D.

It would be simpler to proceed as follows: Go to D, create a new folder and name it downloads, then open Firefox, tools, options, general tab, in downloads, click on browse, go to D, select downloads, and OK.

It depends on what you use to download eMule, Limewire, uTorrent; you can send them to a second hard drive without any issues...  -- Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Xi3650
