When I upgraded to Leopard recently, I did an archive and install. This seemed to be satisfactory. However, I find that when I download anything it is placed in the old download folder I used in Tiger, which is now on my backup disc. I cannot find any way of changing the destination for downloads to the download folder in Leopard. Any suggestions?

Yes that's what I thought, but when I click it, the drop-down menu does not offer me any alternative destiation.

If you click Other you're offered a normal finder browse window to select wherever you want - at least, I am (v 3 in Leopard)

Yes that is true but where do you find the normal Leopard Download folder?

At the top level of your home folder there's now a folder called Downloads.

Thanks Mick. I found it just before I logged on to this site today.
