Change the Internet Explorer default download directory

Unlike other browsers (e.g. Firefox and Opera), Internet Explorer doesn't have a default download directory. Here I'll show how to set this default download directory.

1. Go to Start and press Run. Type regedit and press Enter.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
3. On the right page, create a new value of the type String and name it Download Directory.
4. Open the new value and enter the download directory, e.g. C:\Downloads.
