If you are referring to your browser putting all of your downloads on your desktop, then, yes, that is configurable in your browser. I can tell you that under Gnome, your desktop folder is ~/Desktop You can browse this and move stuff wherever you want it. I change Firefox to download everything (by default) to another directory (not the Desktop). Then again, I do more work from the command line than via windows. If you accidentally moved the stuff yourself, then all you have to do is move it back to where you want it. > Thank you very much! > Owen The way to succeed at Googling is to phrase your query correctly such that Google can display more of what you are looking for. If your search terms are ambiguous enough, or you are not using the correct terminology, you are less likely to get relevant results. I hope this is helpful to you. -- Kevin J.
