    (I'm probably gonna go "DOH! ")

    On an office computer (XP Pro SP3) and every time I want to download something thru EITHER IE or Firefox, it goes right to the desktop, not giving me an option to pick a download location.

    I'm used to the dialog box giving one an option as to putting the d/l into a specific location, but not on this box. The only option it gives is to SAVE or RUN.

    Any ideas on either restoring this function or must I just let it hit the desktop and then move it?

    Win Explorer->Tools->Options->File Types tab-> you have to edit any and all types of files you download. Place a check mark in the box called: "Confirm Open after download "
