Choosing Where to Put Received FilesAnytime someone sends (Web hosting directory)
Choosing Where to Put Received FilesAnytime someone sends a file during a Windows Messenger conversation, thatfile is stored in a folder named My Received Files folder in your My Documentsfolder. You can change that default folder to anything you want. For example, in Chapter 13, I talk about the option of putting all downloaded files in aRecent Downloads folder, so you can scan just those files for viruses ratherthan having to scan your entire hard disk. To change where Windows Messenger stores your received files, click theBrowse button under File Transfer on the Options dialog box. In Figure 12-18, my My Received Files folder. It s listed under Alan s documents in thatfigure, because I m currently signed in to the user account named Alan.
