I've had trouble with this Hannah and that's one of the things I've found that skype is better at as you can choose exactly where you want your downloaded files to go if you use skype to send the files. It works in a very similar way to internet explorer when you download anything. I've actually stopped even trying to create sharing folders with other windows live users, it's too messy in my view.
