If you mean if you have 18.2 GB free hard drive space and you want to download a program that is 512mb, I'd say go for it, after all, that is barely 1/18 of your hard drive.

No of files in a PC doesn't matter at all. The most important is you should minimize the files that starts during boot-up and ensure your system is virus free. Meanwhile, its always good to a defragment at a periodocal time as this will reorganise the hard disk seeking meachanisms. Files can be retrieve on a much faster mode.

Why would  you think it would show up in my documents, either right click on start and then click explore and then click on the D:&#92;, or click start>my computer>d:&#92;. my documents is only a folder to keep docs, pictures and videos.

I use an incoming folder which has a icon on my desktop. Then when they are downloaded to there I can do anti virus on them before sending them to my documents folder. Doing it this way one doesn't slip through to my documents before i've run anti virus on it.

OK since your new the easiest for you would be when you download something click save and save it to your desktop so it will be easy to find. Most sites have direction when you download so read those as well. Be cautious when you download off the internet you can get viruses and spyware which are big booboos for your computer you should get some virus protection, a firewall, and spyware protection.

The easiest way is to upload it to a file-storage site, then email the person who you want to get the file the location so they can download it.  Here's an excellent list of file storage sites:\nhttp://www.jdempsey.com/2005/12/08/free-online-file-storagesending/

On the prompt screen when you were asked, if you want to run or save this file, what was the destination folder?  The standard destination folder for XP operating systems is the my documents folder.  Click on start, then my documents, the program you download it should be in this folder.  If it's not located here.  Click on start, then search, in the search box, type IE7, click search all files and folders, then run.  Good luck!

depending on what you want, you can get a little of everything at download.com.  if you are only looking for utilities and such, then filehippo.com is better.

It's always best to put Windows on C:.  The reason, there are applications that expect it to be there.  So, some of these (badly written) applications don't work correctly if it's installed on D: or E:.  So, I don't recommend installing windows on a drive letter other than C:.\n\nNow, if you are asking if you should install it on a separate partition from your apps, it really doesn't matter.  If all partitions are on the same physical hard drive, then there is no benefit.  So, if only one drive, I recommend creating one big partition and putting Windows and Apps all on the same drive.  If you have two physical disks, then you will have to split them up (unless you choose to stripe the disks together)... which I don't really recommend.\n\nOf course, all of this information shouldn't preclude you from backing up your data frequently.  If your data is important to you, then you will need to make copies of it so you can recover it should your hard drive fail.

Programs need to stay where they was installed.\nIf you does not have the installation discs, so you can uninstall it, and install it again on the new harddrive, then you only can move DATA-files. And remove temporary files.\n\nCreate a new folder on the new harddrive. Call it DATA.\nAnd move all files that is located inside My Documents, to there.\n\nYou can also delete everything inside the temp folders (your personal, and the system temp folder). You did not say what operating system you use, so I can't tell exact location.\n\nThen you can also empty your web-browser's cache, and then set it to be 20 Megabytes in size (default size for IE is much more, and deafault size for FireFox is 50 Mbyte, so you will save some space there).

I think the best situation is to depend on how experienced the user is.  If you are inexperienced, Automatic Download/Install is best.  Otherwise, I would suggest Automatic Download, but being notified of it and choosing when to install.

Definitely Limewire. Fast and easy to use, and if the file is corrupt, it tells you and gives you the option to stop the download.
