Download files and programs is something that often trips up new users. Downloading itself is pretty easy, but finding the file after it’s downloaded can be cumbersome. Here’s a quick way to find them.

Every web browser seems to put downloaded files in a different place. You don’t, however, have to search for the file location. Just press a simple key combination to bring up the download folder and to see all of the files that you have recently downloaded.

If you are using Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox or Opera, just hold down the Ctrl key and press J (Ctrl+J) at the same time. Safari is the only browser that is different. In Safari you will instead press and hold both the Ctrl and the Alt key and press the L key at the same time. (Ctrl-Alt-L)Download files and programs is something that often trips up new users.

I've been using computers for over 30 years and I never knew about that shortcut - thank you so much, Kburra!
