What to do about Downloads setup

Downloads


Note: All the downloads you do, go to the downloads folder you specify, the default is usually your desktop.If it is the desktop, this can make your startup process very long.

- Rather have your Downloads folder in your ‘My Documents’ folder, as this means it will get backed up, if and when you do backups. If you have to restore, you will know which applications you have downloaded and can then re-install them, otherwise, you may forget and not have the same functionality as before.

You may want to check your Downloads folder periodically and move the application files to another folder called Application downloads or Program downloads so that in the event of a system crash, you know what to reload.
Remember to do backups regularly so that you do not lose your data.
