Recently after a local tech zeroed my laptop XP SP2, I successfully restored it using 
Sony restore disks.

Now when I download an app it doesn't give me a choice on where I want the installer. 
It automatically goes into C:\ Documents and Settings\ Owner\ My Documents\Downloads.

Even though it's easy to go 'fetch' it there I've found it less annoying to download 
on my desktop computer and transfer it with a flash drive.  Silly I know, but I'm 
stubborn...lol.

I would be so grateful for any ideas on how to tame this equally stubborn computer. 
 There should be a Computer Whisperer somewhere.

Thank you all so much,
Helen~
