 * Change IE download directory **

By default, when you download files with Internet Explorer on XP, they go onto the same partition where the Windows operating system is installed (usually C:). But often your C: drive has the least space of any of your partitions, so you might prefer to have downloads stored on another partition. You can change this by editing the registry. As always, implement the registry backup tip before you make changes to it.

Here are the steps:
 * 1) Type Regedit in the Run box In your registry editor, scroll to: -**HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer**
 * 2) In the right pane, double click the value **"Download Directory."**
 * 3) In the dialog box, change its value data field to the path to the location where you want to store files you download with IE (for example, **E:\IEDownloads**) { Where E is the Drive in your computer]
 * 4) Close the registry editor.

This only changes the default download directory for the currently logged on user.
