Multiple File download from IE

[Ned Chamberlain]

I have a page that currently allows the user to select the
file and do a file/save as to their computer from IE.
There has to be a way to allow the user to select multiple
files and have them saved to a specified folder on their
computer. Any ideas?
I heard that this is a limitation in IE???

Generally multiple files would be zipped into a single file for download.
The user always gets to choose which folder the file is downloaded to -
that's how IE works for security reasons.

I believe you heard right. I don't believe any browser has that kind of
functionality.
