Panarchy Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 HiReally getting on my nerves now.My 'Downloads' folder keeps appearing on my desktop :SCan I redirect it back to under my profile folder, if yes, how?I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.I've checked the environmental variables (sysdm.cpl), but was unable to notice any discrepancies to the default install.Please tell me how to fix this!Thanks in advance,Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Just to clarify - "keeps appearing" means that you move it back to its original location, but it jumps right back to the Desktop?Is there anything in it?(I will not be able to help you, as I do not know Vista. But once the question is clear, someone else might.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 It seems that the Downloads folder under my profile name redirects to the Desktop.Very clear when downloading torrents or using DownThemAll!Please help me fix this.Thanks in advance,Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I don't understand "redirects"; is it a shortcut? Or the real folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Examine the settings on the download utility that you use. Most have something like "Always download to... " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah, I changed that directory.Yet it still appears on the desktop!It seems to be working the same way as if I'd set it that way in Environmental Variables...

Dencandy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 What downloader are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 µTorrent & DownThemAll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 µTorrent & DownThemAll!Sorry, don't know anything about them, nor Environmental Variables. Perhaps uTorrent & DownThemAll have user forums that you could look through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
