Hello,

Try browsing to the folder that you saved it to in Explorer and
clicking "Show compatability files" on the toolbar.

If you try to download a file to a protected folder, it will be put in
the hidden "compatabiltiy" area.

Tell your browser to set a specific download folder to download files
to.
