It' simple if you just read the directions in the download dialog box: uncheck the box that says "close this box when download completes". The short delay in the file appearing where is was directed to, the desktop for instance, is because the file has to be transferred from a temporary download folder to the specified location. When that completes, close the dialog box manually and all Explorer windows will stay open. Also in some cases the file has to be decompressed during this transfer. It shouldn't take more than a few seconds unless it's a large file and/or you have a slow processor.
