Easy question I know, but please help me
Where do I go to get the list of my recent downloads on Windows XP? I know there is a way to open a window that shows my recent downloads and where I can either remove them or run them. I can't find some stuff I just downloaded, so please help me!!

Thanks

It's a browser where you can see the recent downloads you have made and where they are located and where you have (I think) the options to remove them or run the files. And I need help to find out how I open this browser. Can't find it

I found the browser thing I was looking for on Mozilla. I downloaded this file I am looking for on Internet Explorer and another file with Utorrent, I can't find these files on this browser then?

the default folder in msie is your download folder. You can also do a file search using the file name you downloaded.

then do an advance search and search by date. Once you find all the files that was downloaded on that date, the sort by time. If you remember the time, then it should be easy to find.

In Windows XP files are downloaded into the folder "My Documents"/My Received Files
