The only Downloads folder I have is the one I created, and I could have chosen any name. Safari's Downloads window is the default way to find a downloaded item. You click the magnifying glass.

Yes. Thank you. It is 'Option Command L'. I wonder what the other 14 posts lined up after you say, I am frightened to look in case any of them say, quite rightly of course, "Geez, how long have you been using X? ..." <g> If they do, and I really don't know yet, let me say this: the wrong theory of mind would be being assumed. Once I subscribed to the Mac usenet groups, you lot became my mind. <g> -- dorayme

That is not the window I wanted, my downloads are not set to go there. But thank you for posting this because it reminds me to do some clerical work on my machine and set downloads to go there (instead of desktop) and get used to fundamentally better habits. -- dorayme |
