Here's how I was taught a long time back. a little trick.
You first give a name to a folder, put it on the desktop. I always use DL.
for download. then, the first time only I download anything, before I choose
save finally, I tab over twice more to where to save to, and choose the DL
folder which is there and always seen by vista or xp pro because it appears
on the desktop. Once you choose dl once, and it downloads, it always
downloads there for ever. This way you always know where your downloads are
going, and can memorize the path if need be.

Subject: identifying the locations downloads will be saved in vista using
jaws
I just went to download a file from the internet using internet explorer in
vista. Because I could see the names of the files in the directory which
was selected, I knew where the file was going.
When I back tabbed over to the space which, in xp, would be the "save in"
box, "documents" is what jaws said. I know the selected directory was
not,
in fact, documents.
Is there a reliable way to get the name of the currently selected
directory
when the dialogue comes up to save a file when downloading? I assume this
is the same "save-as" dialogue which appears elsewhere in windows, though
haven't tried to prove it.
Thanks.
