When you plan to download a software update from the Web to install at a later date, it is convenient to create a folder right on your desktop for saving downloaded files. This will allow you to have quick and easy access to your downloads.

Create a folder called "Download" directly on your Windows desktop by following these steps:

  1. Point your mouse to a blank spot directly on the Windows desktop and click the right mouse button.
  2. Select New on the pop-up menu that appears. A second menu will appear to the right.
  3. Click Folder. A new folder field will appear with a blinking cursor. Immediately type in a name for the folder, such as "Download".

From that point on, target all software updates that you plan to download to this new desktop folder for easy, hassle-free access.
