Don't know about changing default download folder, I do know that you
can redirect the Temp Int FIles via a reg edit (I don't recall it
being available from w2k folder redirection GPO's).
Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders" and look the the "cache" entry.
