I have no idea what the problem is so i dont know how to fix it! DreadWingKnight Posted May 2, We've been telling you what the problem is. You're going one folder layer too deep into your files. Okay I'll draw you a picture. Killy Posted May 3, Posted May 3, DreadWingKnight Posted May 3, And yet you're not listening.
Archived This topic is now archived and is closed to further replies. I even go two steps further. After all three scans I can then either install the program or move it to a folder of my choosing. I use the setting in my browser Firefox to always ask me where to download a file to. When I set up a new computer I make my own top-level directory, and then make my own sub-directories under it as I go for whatever data category I need, Financial, Computer Notes, Media Files, Photos, etc.
And as a side benefit, I can back up all my data by simply copying my top-level directory. Also, vcan this be done in all browsers including Safari on a Mac?
Leo I nearly consigned yuou and all yer works.. This article saved you. The downloads article i found useful and apart from the diversion in to w8 at which point it became incomprehensible UNTIL read that enlightening comment…but interim, I spen t bha;lfan hours trying to find your examples, to no avail. I am perhaps a somewhat better user than most oldies I am 78 and mostly self taught, and tolerably literate. Or need to do at all.
I imagine Leo will pipe in on this one, but the vast majority articles on Ask Leo! Unfortunately, the solution to many of these questions is a geeky fix. Thanks in advance. When I down load videos or any thing for that matter off the internet were will they be downloaded at and how do I find them????
Please help. Thank u!!! But what happens with all those bits when the window is closed? And — if somehow they are stored — how do I get rid of them? But also caused head-scratching. For example, he mentions that not only the browser has a downloads folder, but often so does the OS.
He speaks of IE and Windows 8. How software-specific are his tips? Not clear to me — a user of Firefox, under Vista. I am not exactly a rank beginner, but would appreciate some further explanation.
So here are some question points. How that? The downloading usually has been long finished. If this is the name under which the file is stored, how can I ever hope to recognize that file in any download register?
What is all that? My great worry has always been that — once downloaded — unwanted files will stay on the computer, unnecessary taking up storage space. Luckily here Leo seems to be able to put my mind to rest. So far I mostly mentioned arrangements under Firefox. But what is the situation with downloads in the OS? Storing such download files anyway? That terribly named file is the fault of the originating website. Some geeks have no imagination Remove from History — Means to remove the file from the list of downloaded files.
Click on that, and it opens the folder where your file is located. Go to Download Page — Takes you to the page where you downloaded the file from. Copy Download Link — Places a copy of the url of the downloaded file the web address of the download page in the clipboard. Useful if you wnt to email the link to someone or post it in a forum or on Facebook. Clear List — Same as remove from history, except it removes all of the files from the history list.
Hello Mark, Thanks for your useful clarifications. To make absolutely sure I understand things right, just a few more questions:. So — if I am correct! Please confirm! I assume you meant the latter! BUT: there seem to be downloads that bypass the need for actively commanding to save them, and get saved automatically. In the example I gave before that manual for an HP printer I would not have a clue what the file name refers to even when — by accidence — I happen to have stumbled right upon it.
And there are probably loads and loads of such problematic file names to sift through…. The last one [Phew! I appreciate your help. Sorry for the frequent use of capitals, but that is just for making the main points easier to find. Not for shouting at you…. Some browsers have an option for that, I believe. Depending on the browser they may simply end up in your Downloads folder. If you open the containing folder you can tell whether or not the download remains.
Clearing the list does not necessarily remove the downloads. Again, this varies from browser to browser, but in general it does not. And again, this is easy to determine for your specific case by trying it out. In some browsers if you Save to a different location, the next download may go to that other location as well. Again I encourage you to simply try it out. I do this all the time. You can remove all from history, or you can manually remove one at a time.
My laptops brand is ASUS and it comes with free source word. I tried to go into my documents and it would load for a bit then stop. Click on the download notification, and this will open up the downloaded file instantly.
File managers come built-in with Android phones. There are also many third-party file managers available in the Google Play store to download.
Most file managers allow you to sort items by name and modified date or recent. You can then sort accordingly and locate your downloaded files. You may have downloaded a file recently, using your Chrome browser. But for some reason, you may have deleted it by accident.
However, you can recover the file using Chrome Browser as it remembers your downloads. Any deleted download file can be redownloaded using the Chrome Browser with just a click. This menu will display all the downloads, and you can even re-download the file just by tapping on the downloaded file. Due to various reasons, your downloaded files may have been deleted or hidden by third-party software. If you have installed software that cleans up your storage, there are slim chances that you may end up losing valuable files in the process.
Using D-Back for Android , you can recover these files with ease. D-Back is a software that can help you access and recover lost or deleted files.
