To grab that, open the support information page using either. Scroll down to the Extensions heading and a table should follow listing enabled and disabled extensions. It will look a little messy but don't worry, we're used to it. When I do the ctrl, shift, a thing- I got this menu of choices- nothing about add ons Im so sorry.
Thanks all for trying to help. Finally found the "extensions" option. Clicked on it and over to the right a box came up that said, "you don't have any add-ons of this type installed". On your Downloads list, could you click the "folder" icon on the right end to open the Downloads folder with that file selected. When you get to the list, does the file have an icon that seems appropriate for that type of file? If these files have gotten associated with another program that doesn't know how to decode them, that might be the problem.
Thanks for hanging in there!!! I'm afraid that isn't the problem. I feel like I must have have done something by mistake that has made everything turn to hieroglyphics!!! Hmm, not the label so much as the associated program. If you open a PDF, what program does it open in? Windows 10 More Need more help? Join the discussion. Was this information helpful?
Yes No. Thank you! Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Nor can I find the file in the download folder. I know the file has been downloaded because the computer shows space has been taken up.
Where do I find my downloaded files? What is the default download location for files on Windows? Is there a fix in which I can get the files to be updated into my download folder? Quite a lot of users have this issue that downloaded files not showing up on the desktop or download folder without any sign. How to fix downloaded files not showing up on Windows 10 or Mac? On this page, you will find useful methods to deal with this problem. Why aren't my downloads showing up on the desktop or the download folder?
When you lose track of the files you've downloaded with your web browser, you can go to check the default save locations of your web browser through the settings. After you press the shortcut key combination, the Downloads window will open and display the recently downloaded files like the screenshot below. You can click "Show in folder" to check the accurate save location. The approach is similar to change the location of files downloaded by other browsers. If your files are actually stored on the desktop, but the downloaded files not showing up on the desktop, the direct cause may be that the computer hides the icon.
The three steps above are the quickest way to fix downloaded files not showing up on the desktop. I never had any idea there was any danger.
After reading this article, I emptied the Download folder into another folder. Actually, I should take some time and move those files into more appropriate folders. Since my old Win 7 machines run with a standard user for everyone and an admin user for me, downloading a file while logged in as admin made it difficult for other users, either on the machine or on the network, to find these files. Problem solved! I believe it to be number 1 on the list above.
But whatever or wherever it is located, I have never lost a file that I downloaded. And, as Leo suggests, if it is an important download, I move it to a separate, distinct folder and back it up!
Makes typing these entries into various open and save dialog boxes MUCH easier. Some programs have their own default Downloads folder which is can be changed inside the program. You can move the Downloads or any folder using Windows File Explorer. This article explains how to move the My Documents folder but it works for any folder. I moved Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, and Videos inside the OneDrive folder so all my personal files are synchronized on the cloud and are on all of my computers.
I have two Download folders. Other files in my Download folders are installation files for various programs. Never know if I might need or want it. Everything else I download goes into the appropriate folder. When I set up a new machine, I can often bring over the dozens of programs that the old one used; and in some cases I can use the same setup files used in the original machine. Image backups are pretty big, and sooner or later you run out of space for the old ones….
Eventually you do, yes, but you get to choose how large a window of recoverability you want or need. This may seem simplistic but I have never deleted any downloads. I was never sure what to delete. Any ideas on how to proceed? Some you might keep move to a different folder others you might delete.
