Internet Explorer - Change Default Download Location

I now see the difference between the two procedures. What I wanted to do was to change the default save to location. I followed that procedure and found that IE9 was still, by default, saving downloads to my user download folder. I then moved my download folder and that accomplished what I wanted. I don't mean to run this into the ground; but, shouldn't I be able to have IE9 save downloads to a different location without moving my user downloads folder? What am I not understanding here?

It doesn't seem to apply to saving documents or pictures, ie9 just goes on saving them to library locations regardless of which location I specify in the way outlined above. It is time consuming specifying the desired location in the 'save to' box each time - I only want to do this once as in Chrome. Instead when saving a lot of material to one location I have to specify the location each time I save. I don't like saving everything to Pictures, for instance, and then moving them to desitred locations as this takes a lot of sifting if I've been doing mulitple jobs.

Thanks for this tutorial, really really helped :)
