Windows 7 - Maybe a silly question... |

Maybe a silly question... Good morning internet friends,
I know this may be a silly question, but I'm going to ask anyway.
I have Magicjack, and it leaves me messages in the form of .wav files in emails. These are then downloaded. They go directly to Windows7 download folder. Because this same folder gets all .tmp files, and plenty of other 'debris,' it fills quickly. So I made a folder to place all the .wav files in. Now, how do I get Windows 7 to send the .wavs to this folder and not just the download folder????

Thanks for understaqnding Mitchell.
I tried P5's advice. Apparently because I have already chosen a default program to open the .wav file with, it does not use 'run' or show me this window. It simply defaults to WMediaPlayer. Also, on right click, my only option is 'send to,' which includes my docs, but not a particular folder. I am back to square one.

What happens when you try and download the wave file from gmail?
Do you get a prompt? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-built OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit CPU Intel Core i7-3770 Motherboard Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3 Memory G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 F3-10666CL9D-8GBNT Graphics Card Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6670 Sound Card Realtek ALC892 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster P2370HD, Dell 1703FPT Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech Deluxe 250 Mouse Logitech MX518 PSU SeaSonic M12II SS-500GM Case Lian Li PC-9F Cooling Zalman CNPS9900LED Hard Drives Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ Internet Speed 8 Mbps |

Hi P5, and thanks again for sticking with me.
Gmail automatically downloads, I do not even have a password set up with MagicJack, so don't go through their program, as you are showing in screenshot 'VMail' If I can avoid it, I'd really like to. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number e-machine OS windows 7 home premium, 64 bit Memory 2 gig Monitor(s) Displays HNC 25 inch Hard Drives 400 gig |

Hi Exotic.
Go to the current download folder and right click on any Magic Jack file.
Select Open With > Choose Default Program...
Under Recommended Programs, select Internet Explorer.
Make sure that "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked.
Select OK.
IE should open and you can change the Save location.
The new Magic Jack files should get downloaded to the new location, as well as all your downloaded files. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-built OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit CPU Intel Core i7-3770 Motherboard Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3 Memory G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 F3-10666CL9D-8GBNT Graphics Card Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6670 Sound Card Realtek ALC892 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster P2370HD, Dell 1703FPT Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech Deluxe 250 Mouse Logitech MX518 PSU SeaSonic M12II SS-500GM Case Lian Li PC-9F Cooling Zalman CNPS9900LED Hard Drives Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ Internet Speed 8 Mbps |

I looked before answering...if I do this, I will be using IE? My default browser is Google Chrome, and I hate IE. WIll I be stuck with IE opening this new folder if I choose to go through with this? Sorry for all the extra questions, I'm just trying my best to keep IE out of my useage. It did not show Chrome as an option, btw. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number e-machine OS windows 7 home premium, 64 bit Memory 2 gig Monitor(s) Displays HNC 25 inch Hard Drives 400 gig Maybe a silly question... problems?
