Need help with the incomplete folder
 
Seems like everytime I download music, an 'incomplete' folder shows up on my desktop and I have to delete it. This is getting quite annoying. It didnt do this before, just recently. Anybody have this problem and how can I get rid of it?

If you are saving to something like

C:\Documents and Settings\**Your Username**\Desktop\**whatever**

then the incomplete file will be in the right directory Desktop

Your incomplete folder will follow your saving folder and will keep creating itself there again and again until you find another save location.

I know many think of this as a good way to get easy access to their downloaded files, but it is just as easy to save to somewhere else and then just make a shortcut to that folder, that you then put on your desktop.

Yep that did the trick... thanks. Youre right, I originally had it like you said, where the files went to my shared folder and I just created a shortcut on my desktop.. but recently had to switch the files over to another file for some cleanup, and just had the saved files redirected to my new (desktop) folder, not knowing that would affect me. I went ahead and took care of it now.

Thanks for the help!!
