Internet Explorer, by default, will download to the last folder you
downloaded to, which you can change from being the desktop. It's a good
idea to do this, anyway, or to set up a DOWNLOAD folder. Some people
download into the My Documents folder, which is easily located and changed
to on the desktop.

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] question about desktop icons
Another clarification, if you have any files stored in your desktop
folder then pressing delete on them when you're in your desktop will
delete those files. I think that Internet Explorer, for example, places
any file you download in your desktop folder by default. Paying
attention to the warning screen you get from Windows should let you know
when you're deleting an icon versus when you're deleting a file.
