How Do I Download a file?
Before you begin downloading, I would recommend that you create a NEW folder on your hard drive for TEMPORARY download files. It would be best to create this new folder directly underneath the C: drive and call this new folder DOWNLOAD. This is where you can place newly acquired downloaded files.
So...let's get started...
1) If you are using Windows, open up Explorer. You can find Explorer by clicking the Start button, then choose Programs, then choose Windows Explorer.
2) Left mouse click on your C: drive icon located in the left side panel so that it is highlighted.
3) Choose File from the Main Menu.
4) Choose New, then choose Folder.
5) Name the folder Download. Note the words New Folder are blue. You just need to type the word Download, it will replace the words New Folder. Press the Enter key when you’re done.
You will only need to create this Download folder one time. Once this procedure has been accomplished, you can proceed directly to the following steps:
You can now surf the Web until you find a file you wish to download. Or, if someone sends you an email with a file attached, you can download the attachment.
When you find a file you want to download, or you’re in the email screen with the file attached, you’ll see either a download button or the words download that you can click on. After a few seconds, your browser will display a window asking you where you would like to store (or save) this new file. Make sure "Save it to disk" is selected, and then click "OK."
In the next window you see, click on the new Download folder that you created. Note: you may want to jot down the filename to make it easier to find this file when you want to open it.
Once the download process has completed, simply use Windows Explorer to go to the Download folder, and double click on the filename you downloaded. This will start up the file. |
