Deborah, most of the time I've noticed the downloads automatically go into the folder on the C drive called "My Downloads".
You might find it nested deep in the Windows directories.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Okay. You know what's gut-bustingly funny?
When an archivist instructs you that your story is incomplete and cannot be uploaded, after finally ascertaining that you've been having trouble archiving because you've been trying to upload a Word doc, do you:
a) Ask the archivist to archive your story for you instead of sending your lone Chapter 2 to the mailing list
b) Send the archivist the exact same chapter of the incomplete story she told you she can't upload
c) Admonish the archivist not to steal your story
or
d) All of the above

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Half a terrabyte. Half a terrabyte. I'll have to ask Nic and I don't want.
WAAAAAAH! There must be search function on this appliance from hell somewhere, surely? I know there is. We can put a man on the moon, and a baboon heart into a baby, I can find AOL Messenger software on T3. Right?
I told you I was a virgin at this. Gah.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
When in doubt, I click on the 'start' button on the left, click 'search', then 'for files or folders'. You can put in "AIM messenger" or something and see what turns up.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
deb, on Windows, look for "Search" under the Start menu. It can take a while to search a big system, which is why I generally go with the "start the download again and see where it wants to go" suggestion.

It was in the My Downloads file. AND, I now know how to search this box from hell.
You all utterly rock my world, in a good way. Champagne and cookies for everyone! Matzoh brei for those who prefer!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Deb, it's truly easy to find AOL IM, because it wants to be found. The filename is probably AOL##.exe, where ## is whatever version or year is the latest version. This file is a self-extracting ZIP, and installs itself when you double-click on it, so you're 99% of the way there when you find the file.
On a PC, the Start button in the bottom left corner will give you a menu, of which one option is Search... for Files or Folders. If you've got downloading habits, you can narrow which folders to search in, if that will make the search faster for you.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

This one. Final answer.
Did you consider head-crushing?
