    How to change the default download file directory


    Hello

    When I install or download file from the net, these one are automatically saved onder c: user\downloaded file

    As I just install a new SDD HD, I would like these file to be saved under d:\user\downloaded file

    How could I permanently modify the default files?

    Whichever Browser you may be using, in their preferences/options there is a provision to choose on where you want to save the downloads. Please look around there for nominating the place where you want to save your downloads.
