    I'm trying to follow the XP cleaning proceder but when I get to the following step;

    "MGtools.exe - DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS TO YOUR DESKTOP! It is critical that you save this file to the root folder of the drive where you have installed Windows (Typically this would be C:\ and thus you would have a C:\MGtools.exe file after downloading)"

    and click on the link, it automatically downloads to my desktop. I'm using Firefox. Is there some way to change the settings?

    In Firefox, click on Tools on the top menu bar.

    Then click Options from the drop down menu.

    In the window that opens click on the Main icon at the top.

    In the second section of this pop up window is Downloads. Where is says Save Files To there is a Browse button at the end of the row. Click on this to reset your downloads to another place on your computer. (Don't forget to change it back to where it as after you have successfully downloaded MGTools)
