When you download a file from a Web page in Microsoft Internet Explorer
and choose to save the file to your hard disk instead of opening it,
Internet Explorer prompts you to select the folder in which you want to
save the file. By default, the folder in which you last saved a file you
downloaded with Internet Explorer is selected.
MORE INFORMATION
When you download a file from a Web page for the first time after
installing Internet Explorer and you are prompted to select the folder in
which you want to save the file, the Windows\Desktop folder is selected
by default. Until you select a different folder, the Windows\Desktop
folder is always selected by default. When you select a different folder,
that folder is selected by default until you select a different folder.
