i just noticed after i downloading off of asus that i clikc the download link and it just downloaded and did not ask me where to put it or anything? why would this be????
 
Are you using a Download Manager which defaults to what location is requested in the program settings
 
It is not uncommon for many companies to create auto-downloading exe's. Adobe does it with Acrobat Reader, Microsoft does it with Internet Explorer. It doesn't ask you to download because by clicking the EXE you are basically giving it permission. These such programs usually copy the temp info to c:\documents and settings\username\application data\temp. Hope this clears everything up!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
