Docs dissapearing when downloading using Windows 7

I am trying to download docs to a flash drive using windows 7. When I right click with my mouse and I use the Save As feature the docs download but I don't know where they are on my hard drive. How do I save the docs to a flash drive on my machine?

More information is needed. Where are the docs before you try to "download" them? Outlook? Gmail? Title company web site? If you are using a web browser at the time you "download", which one?

Instead of Save depress the Open (I am assuming they are PDF files). When they Open go under file and do a save as: then save as PDF and choose the flash drive in the window left. (I usually click on Desktop because that is where I want them) you can name it also. That is where it will be saved. If you just download, it will be saved under downloads with the name of whatever it is called by the sender. (or it should be) In that case find it, open it and save it over.

Hijack--Windows 7 is a beast

Have had it for nearly a year and it still surprises me--not in a nice way. Would go back to XP except the new computer isn't compatible...isn't that a bear~~

Go to the desktop, and click on the “Computer” icon.


Look on the left side of the screen for the “Downloads” folder.

Are your documents listed there?
