Need some Vista help please....
I bought and downloaded a "Personal Color Viewer" from Benjamin Moore online.

The download of the .exe file completed.

Where does Vista put the damn download so I can set it up?

I can't find ANYTHING that I download on Vista.

Thanks.

5. Crazy I know, but downloads can be found in your "Downloads" file.
Check in there. That's the way it's set up by default I believe.

10. XP Pro has the same problem, so...
I assume you can do with Vista what I do.

You could go through a whole magillah of menus, file associations, where and what to do with stuff, but when the "run or save" window pops up, I say "save." Then another window pops up suggesting where I should save it-- I immediately change their suggestion to my "Download" folder and forever after downloads go there unless I change it again.
