Hi larry,
REG_SZ is a Type as in a particular kind, class, or group *not* as in write
by means of a keyboard.
There are a couple of ways of doing this. Here's one.
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. Navigate to >>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
3. In the right pane, double click on Download Directory
4. In Value data, type or paste the new data for the value, and then click
OK.
5. The new data being the location that you want. C:\Documents and
Settings\Wesley P. Vogel\My Documents\My Download Files for
example.
If Download Directory does not exist under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer...
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. Navigate to >>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
3. In the right pane, right clack an empty spot, click New, click String
Value and name it Download Directory.
4. If you make a mistake and the name is New Value #1, right click it and
select Rename.
5. In the right pane, double click on Download Directory
4. In Value data, type or paste the new data for the value, and then click
OK.
5. The new data being the location that you want.
