Hi Donna!
Probably the safest way to handle downloads of files or programs over the
Internet is to create a "Downloads" folder, and place any into that folder
as you download. You can even create folders within that folder to designate
any particular downloads you do regularly (updates, etc.). Then when you
have dealt with them "burn" the contents of that folder, every few weeks to
a CD especially kept for downloads. If you carefully label the downloads
with a title you will recognize, they will be easier to locate if needed in
the future. You don't have to accept the name of the download if you feel it
is "unclear". For example, it may be labelled "mw975enu.exe" which is
perhaps meaningless six months later. However, if you labelled it "Logitech
Driver mw975enu.exe" it makes it quite clear just what it was you
downloaded. Placing downloads in a special folder saves your Desktop from
being cluttered, too.

This may be a dumb question, and it doesn't apply to the file cabwiz
specifically... I have wondered for a long time about downloading really
small files to your computer. Lots of times it will say that it "can't make
a shortcut here do you want it on your desktop instead?" Then when you say
"yes" the shortcut appears in the screen that you right-clicked. Sometimes
you can drag and drop the shortcut to the Desktop, but other times it will
respond "unable to move because the shortcut and destination files are one
and the same". I made a file for different downloads under Program Files
and designated each one for specific types of programs, and that is where I
try to make sure that most of the "alien" programs are downloaded. Am I
making a mistake in that the file should be downloaded to the Desktop for
ease of selection and use?
