Default download directory for IE 7

[Deborggraeve Randy]

Hi,

Can the default download directory be changed?
In previous versions of IE it just took the last used download directory,
now each time i wanna download a file it switched back to my user folder.

In the IE7 for XP SP2, I've realised that if you download something to a
directory a few times, it'll stick with it :o) As long as you do it
concurrently, so three downloads all to F:\downloads for example, it sticks.
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but it seems to work here!

I think you are experiencing Intelli sense there Zack, but it looks like its
broken in Vista, but like Deborggraeve, we just want manually set it by
default.
