Remembering last download location

Hey, I've just installed winME, set it up and everything, and deleted the My Documents icon from the desktop. I noticed that My Documents disappeared from save dialogs and firefox/ie both stopped remembering that the last folder downloaded to is My Documents\Downloads, and any saving images or links does the same. I added My Documents to desktop again by dragging My Documents to desktop, winME corrected me, saying it will place a shortcut there, and the shortcut doesn't have a normal shortcut arrow, so it did so correctly, and My Documents reappeared in save dialogs, but firefox and ie still refuse to remember My Documents or any folder contained in it as the last downloaded location!

Well your My Documents short-cut on your desktop can be removed if you right-click 
and remove from destop. It doesn't remove your My Documents on your hard drive.

As for your download location you can just specify a new folder, just make a new 
folder called Downloads or what ever.

If you use CCleaner which I would recommend you do, you can decided if you want to 
remove your last download location.

I can only speak for IE not FireFox.
