Paul As long as you know where it was downloaded to and can go there to execute it, it should make no difference. Personally, I download all apps into a folder named "downloads" so I don't have to track them down. Once you download into a folder the next time you download something it should open to that folder automatically. tc :-) ps: After installing the fix you can delete it.

paul, just to piggyback on tc's post, the w98 shutdown fix from ms is just one of several things you can try to remedy a hanging prob. i've heard many people say that the ms fix doesn't change anything. but i like to always recommend that a user at least start with mister softee's patch. if you go that route and still have probs, let us know. :) mark

Paul, I'll own up to being a klutz when it comes to finding files that I download. Setting up a folder for downloads seems to be the preferred method. But personally I've used the download to Desktop method...I like it. The download results in a file being placed on your(my) Desktop in the form of an icon. Even I can find that....on a good day :) I usually leave the icon on the Desktop for a couple of days after I've done what I want with it...then I drag it over to the recycle bin to tidy up the Desktop. Not the geekster approach, but it works for me.
