AskWoody PlusWhen I download an attachment on my desktop or my laptop, I get a window asking me what I want to do with the file to be downloaded. My wife’s laptop does not give her that choice, it simply downloads everything to her DOWNLOAD file. How do I get the “choices” panel back on her laptop?

AskWoody PlusThanks, but I most often have a requirement to put downloads in different folders depending on the file type and its association. If everything goes into the Download folder, then I just have to move each one again after the download. Being able to specify the destination folder often saves time. For example, if an e-mail comes with say, five related attachments, e.g., project files, then specifying the destination folder for the first one, most often provides a default location for the remaining four attachments.

ManagerIt is suggested to use the “Always Ask” for security reasons.
Without the “Always Ask” setting a malicious file can be downloaded automatically, without the user’s knowledge.
With the “Always Ask” option, the user is made aware of the download and has the chance to refuse.1 user thanked author for this post.

AskWoody PlusA cousin of this in case you get the weird stuff I seem to … I went thru a period of my Firefox “Dnload to Desktop” setting NOT working and my being Forced ( via popup) to Dnload to the Downloads Folder Only.
Thru trial & error the fix was ……. In My PC\Desktop\Rt Clk\Properties\Security tab\the “Everyone” Group had the Modify Box UN-chk’d/ I chk’d it and then Saved a Word Doc to the desktop, and a small App dnload went to Desktop. The Moderator in another Forum didn’t even show the Everyone Group in his W10 , but in my case it was the solution. FYI
