Downloading vids to Hard drive

I more use to the windows 98 version. I now have XP with media player 10.
With 98 you could DL a vid (right click and save as) and put it in a folder.
Now if I DL a vid with XP media player 10 I try to save and have no luck.
What happens is I click in the top left corner on (file) click save as, and
the vid I just downloaded starts downloading all over again to be inserted
into my folder. Its like a Double Download for something that she be a one
time deal. And with Dial up Internet this process takes forever. Can somebody
get me on the right track on how to use this media player 10 in this process.

Try tools,options,edit the "save content" to a specified folder where you
want wmp to save youre downloads at,then close out.Also,when you click
the save as (upper L.corner) a L.click on the text is all that's needed.

to tools and everything you wrote but i never saw a "save
content",............Theres got to be a easy way to do this.
