2 suggestions from an amateur.

Go to the top toolbar in AOL, choose Settings/Preferences/Download
At bottom of download preferences screen, it says:  Put files I download in
the following directory.  My default, from when I loaded 6.0, is:
C:\America Online 6.0\download

If changing that doesn't help, perhaps this was set on the A: drive by you
downloading or opening a file on the A: drive.  That would be consistent with
most other programs where you end up at the same file/drive as you last went
to.  Would it help if you opened/downloaded a file to the AOL6.0\download
directory?
