Hello,

If I am downloading anything like songs or exe file or anything on desktop or any other folder in my laptop, it is not showing. When download is complete, it does run for the first time but after that I am unable to find the same. Icons are not being shown of the file.

My old icons are there on desktop but anything new is not appearing.

Kindly advise

Hola ,



First of all you don't have to panic rest assure if you dowloaded the file it has not been erase all things that you have downloaded is still on your system..


I think that you should select another destination for your download because some files downloaded somethings are not automatically saved on desktop.


Best thing to do is to track them :

Click start :

then Search .

A window will open ..
you will have the following options :
What do you want to search -
Pictures,muisc or video
Documents word processing spreadsheet etc
all files and foloders

Computers or people

Select pictures musics or video
you will have an open tap :
type the name of a song you downloaded recently .

IN THE SEARCH RESULT ONCE IT IS FOUND
right click and look for the file properties you will be able to find where your downloaded files are stored
