    By default downloads appear in the Downloads folder, or C:\Users\<your user name>\Downloads.

    Why do people do that? Why would they ask a question then delete their post once they've found it?

    What do they think the purpose of a forum is?

    I know, the internet is a library of information, people search it for solutions to problem, but then someone deletes the original question........

    OP has no interest in anyone but themselves?

    Quite the opposite in fact, it saves other users wasting their time answering the question.

    In which case the OP (in this case, you) would post a final post saying, "fixed - and I did it this way", so that the benefit of your new-found knowledge can be shared...

    other forums have an "Solved" or "fixed" tag they can append to post titles.

    Or the user can just edit the title and ADD the word "Solved/Fixed" to the title.

    Personally in my view:
    People who ask a question, find an answer then delete the question and just put "Solved/Fixed" should be hit with an instant BAN!!!!

    fuss over nothing, you're spending too much time at the keyboard if this annoys you, the op can do what they want - it's a lovely spring day if you need a vitamin D topup
    Don't you dare criticise what you cannot understand
