Hi Pedro, Below are a couple of notes addressing this question.
From: Lauren Simmons Now for your IE downloads configuration... To configure where your downloads go: Note: In Windows7, by default your downloads go to the following folder: C:\Users\Your name\Downloads. You can quickly open this folder by using Run dialogue and typeing the following: downloads 1. To configure where your downloads are saved create a folder somewhere on your computer and name it something like "GreatDownloads." 2. Go to a website such as www.blindcooltech.com and initiate the download process. 3. When asked where you want to save the file, since you are on the efit field containing the name of the file, press shift tab twice or until you locate the first tree view which will likely be on "Computer." Note: This is a tree view which means you will have to down arrow to a drive or folder then right arrow to open it. 4. using the trree view work your way over to where you would like your files to be downloaded. In this case, the name of the downloads folder you just created which is GreatDownloads. You can press enter on the folder and tab once to look inside and make sure you see the files that should be in that specific folder. 5. After you have found your desired download folder tab to Save or press Alt + s to begin downloading and saving the file. 6. After the download has completed work your way over to your GreatDownloads folder and confirm that the file has been downloaded to this location. 7. To be 100% certain all downloads will be placed in the GreatDownloads folder, go to another website and download a small file then confirm it has been saved to the GreatDownloads folder. Tips: 1. From now on, when you are in the process of saving a file, and you are in the Internet Explorer 8 download dialogue, You can press the following keyboard command to quickly determine where your file is going to be saved: Alt + letter d. If the file is not being saved in your desired folder, follow the steps above to configure a desired download folder once again. 2. Whenever in a download dialogue, you can quickly press Alt + S to save a file. LS From: Gene Here is one way to do what you want: Each main new step starts on a new line. Once you are in the edit field where you can change the file name, shift tab twice. You are now in a list of folders and files that you work with in the same way as if you were in My Computer. For those who may be wondering, you shift tab twice in Windows 7 but only once in Windows XP to get to the folders and files list I am discussing. Find and open the folder where you want the file to be saved. Don't move at all with the arrow keys in the folder after you open it. Tab twice to get back to the edit field and press enter. The download will start. Internet Explorer will remember where you saved the file. It, as well as many other programs remembers the last place you download something. In future, you don't have to go through this procedure again. Now, once you are in the edit field where you can change the filename, just press enter The download will begin and the file will be placed where you specified. Gene Hope these helped. Take care.

How does one using Jaws 12, IE 8 and Windows 7 direct downloads to specific folders? And, if she changes folder designation, will all subsequent downloads go to this folder or is there a quick way to change their destination? Thanks.
