June 2, 200620 yr Ok,How can you force a user to only download to a specific directory? The user would be prompted to save but only to a predetermined directory and nowhere else. You can set the default download directory for IE in the registry but the user can just select another directory. So how is this done?Thanks Edited June 2, 200620 yr by X-Centric
June 2, 200620 yr I don't think you can, since you can just type in the full path if you want it saved somewhere else.
June 2, 200620 yr Author Let me elaborate a little bit more,Before Windows XP and IE6 when downloading a file you were presented with 4 buttons instead of three. They were: Open, Save, Save As, Cancel. When setting NoSelectDownloadDir in the registry. the "Save" button would save the download to the default value in the "Download Directory" key in the registry and the "Save As" would be disabled. Now in Windows XP with IE6 you cannot use NoSelectDownloadDir as it will disable the "Save" button completly. And now they did away with the extra button. There must be a way to force users to download to lets say their "My Documents" folder dont you think?
