Why does empty folder reappear on desktop in XP when I use Save As command
I'm running XP_SP3 with Firefox 8.0.1. I had an empty folder on my desktop named "D E M O " which I used to use for downloads. I moved it to another HD on my system and deleted it from the desktop. Now, any time I DL ANY type of file with Firefox, that folder reappears on the desktop as soon as I hit File, Save As. I tested this out with IE6. IE6 does not recreate the folder.

This might be a silly answer, but have you actually told firefox to download to a different location?
Personally I always have Firefox ask me where to download files.

you hit it on the nail. i had suspected such a thing, but the folder was always empty when it reappeared. however, that was the answer. I thought i had told it to always ask. But, since it was always downloading straight to the desktop, i was reluctant to accept that as an answer. Sureenough,however, I HAD told it to DL there, even though it wasn't. So, it seems to be fixe. And, no, that wasn't a silly question. A silly question would have been something like, "did you smear peanut butter on your CPU before the incident? Thanks anyway. You were smarter than a whole lot on netusers, and now, so am I, again, just like the good old days when folks actually tried to help each other out instead of selling adware.
