Mozilla Firefox - Misc - View More Details on Downloaded Files

SUMMARY: FirefoxDownloadsView shows additional details about the most recent files downloaded from the Firefox web browser.

FirefoxDownloadsView is a Windows utility from NirSoft that displays additional information about the latest files downloaded via Mozilla Firefox. Details include (when available) each filename, original file and referrer URLs, full path to the download, MIME type, downloaded and total bytes, start / end / duration times, and an estimate of the average download speed (note that the latter may be influenced by hard drive speed, compression, and by your antivirus software scanning downloads).

As with other NirSoft tools, details can be saved to text, CSV, XML, or HTML files, or HTML reports may be generated from the results. Other features include right-click shortcuts to open the selected URL or filename and a "Find" feature in case you are wading through hundreds or more downloads. The software can be run via a batch file, for example to generate automated HTML reports.

Using FirefoxDownloadsView to display details for files downloaded from Firefox

Windows 2000, Windows XP, and higher are supported. Firefox 3.x and 4.x are supported. Translations are available in other languages including French, German, and Russian. More information and download links are available at the following site:

Microsoft Excel 2010 - Choose Where Saved and AutoRecover Files Go

SUMMARY: If you need to store workbooks and AutoRecover files elsewhere, configure Excel 2010 as to where they should be placed.

Do you have multiple hard drives or partitions and want to save Microsoft Excel 2010 workbooks and AutoRecover files on a location reserved for data? Or do you just want to organize your files differently on your one hard drive / partition?

By default, Excel 2010 saves AutoRecover files in your user's "AppData" folder (for Windows 7 users, this is C:\ Users\ [YOUR_USER_NAME]\ AppData\ Roaming\ Microsoft\ Excel\). While workbooks can be saved anywhere, the default location is your Documents folder (for Windows 7 users, this is by default C:\ Users\ [YOUR_USER_NAME]\ Documents). Here's how to change these locations:

1. Select the "File" tab in the Ribbon.

2. The Microsoft Office Backstage View appears. Click the "Options" button.

(Or instead of steps 1 and 2, press Alt + T, then the letter O.)

3. The "Excel Options" dialog box appears. Click "Save" in the left pane.

4. In the right pane, underneath "Save workbooks", you will find two text boxes. One is next to "AutoRecover file location", the other next to "Default file location". Click on a box and enter a new path to change the respective file location. Note that you must enter path names exact as there are no "Browse" buttons.
