Do you use Firefox or Internet Explorer?

If you use Firefox, go to:
Tools->Options...
In the Main tab, there is a download section. Click on the Save Files to and browse for the folder.

For Internet Explorer 7, you have to go into regedit (if you're on Vista type regedit in the Search area in the start menu or in XP, start->run)
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
You should see a value for Download Directory, double click and you should be able to edit it to what you want.

For IE6, I'm not sure, it might be the same as IE7 but I'm not sure.

Hope that helps

IE should ask you where you want to download the files to.
