downloads in XP?

GT60

Hi a friend has Xp and one question where do the downloaded progs like ccleaner go?


If it was Windows 7 it goes in the download folder which is found by Documents - downloads
but I cannot find it in XP
help please

Depends on the browser he's using and whether he changed the download directory. Try another download and look Very Carefully! Otherwise, do a search for the first part of the file name.

Using XP all my downloads go into my download folder unless I have selected another destination.

Just do a search for it

elektra

whilst in browser press CTRL and J

this will bring up a list of recent downloads, then you can select the file and see which folder it is in

In firefox - right click to select it and there will be an option to 'open containing folder'

In Chrome a 'show in folder' option is already displayed

Thank you everyone I will now try the CTRL J and if that doesn't work, the search again

In the downloads folder, but it might have the path
C:\Users\name\downloads. Failing that download it again at it should pop up and show where it's going. :cool:

How do I find out how much disk space / memory there is on this PC?

Start, right click on my computer (May be this computer or this pc) and select properties. Left click and properties puts the disks up, right click and properties on the disk will show used and free. :cool:

Flying Windows/Home key. Whilst holding it down, press the Pause Break key.

If you want to find how much disk space is left, right click on the C: drive icon and choose Properties.

... unless there's more than one HDD. Or the HDD is partitioned.

Open My Computer, and inspect it for all HDDs and partitioned drives fitted.

If you download Speccy from Piriform, the CCleaner people, it will give you detailed information on every piece of hardware on your computer.
