I have downloaded files, but cannot find where they are. how can I find them. This has happened before. How do I change the destination for downloads.

It depends on your browser. Click the "hamburger" symbol and look under settings or options.

Oops. Noticed my question has appeared as "shopping" I definitely put it under Technology - Internet.

The hamburger is the icon top right of the screen, which consists of three horizontal black bars on top of each other.

I suggest changing the destination to 'Always ask me where to save files' (as per bhg41's route - the 'hamburger' symbol is the one with 3 horizontal lines).

Before making the change though, take a look at the current setting which will tell you where your missing files are. It's likely to be the Windows' download folder. If so, click the Start Button and then on your Windows username (although clicking on 'Documents', 'Music' or 'Photos' is actually just as good. Then click on 'Downloads' in the left-hand panel. (Those instruction for Windows 7 but they should work with other versions of Windows as well).

What device are you using?

Windows computer, Apple Mac, Tablet, Smartphone etc

You have to tell us these things, we cant just guess, and it will be different for each device.
