| Download Folder | Branden | 11/30/08 4:18 PM | How do I get chrome to stop creating the "Downloads" folder in My Documents? I changed the download location from "My Documents\Downloads" to "My Documents\My Downloads", deleted the folder, then when I opened chrome the My Documents\Downloads folder |
| Re: Download Folder | AiFJ | 12/1/08 4:46 AM | I have the same problem. In addition: the problem appeared couple of days ago by unknown reason. I have Winodws XP Home SP3. I uninstalled and then reinstalled Chrome, that did not help. |
| Re: Download Folder | jrs74656 | 12/10/08 8:48 AM | I am having the same problem as well. It's very annoying. I'm hoping someone from Google is paying attention to these posts. |

I already relocated my download folder, chrome got it works, but the folder "Downloads " still auto creates every time loading chrome. For couple of days i reckoned some sort of |

| Re: Download Folder | worley39 | 9/14/09 11:57 AM | I am having the same problem. I do not want the Downloads folder to appear on my computer unless I put it there. Going to http://browsers.about.com/od/googlechrome/ss/chromedownload.htm does not solve the problem. |

| Re: Download Folder | QQFarmer | 9/25/09 8:47 AM | Looks like a pretty surreal problem. It might take some really stringent testing to figure out the real cause. ^_^ One of the scenarios going through my mind: After you have gotten rid of the "downloads" folder, you uninstall and clean install Chrom |
| Re: Download Folder | worley39 | 9/25/09 3:17 PM | Yes, it sure did. Thanks QQFarmer !! I deleted all the beta chrome folders etc; by using the control panel and then downloaded the newest STABLE VERSION of Chrome, 3.0.195.21, and changed the downloads location and voila !!. No more downloads folder |

I am running Windows XP Home, SP3, and Chrome v4.0.249.89 (38071) - Up-To-Date. I change my Download Folder in Options|UnderTheHood|Downloads|D |

| Re: Download Folder | Thurmack | 5/28/10 1:27 PM | Hi Doug! I appreciate your time but I think maybe you didn't read my post in full. I mentioned setting a custom folder using the exact same process you've suggested. The problem isn't setting the folder, it's retaining it. At some point the folder re |
| Re: Download Folder | Barbellion | 6/26/10 7:52 AM | I'm using the latest version of Chrome (5.0.375.86) and there is simply no option to define the download folder. It's been removed from 'Under the hood'. Why is this? It's deeply annoying. |
| Re: Download Folder | Thurmack | 6/26/10 9:39 AM | That's odd. Are you absolutely certain you are scrolling down to check lower in the Under the Hood settings menu? There's a scroll bar on that menu, and the Downloads folder is further down. It's also grayed out with a Browse button next to it (you c |

| Re: Download Folder | Thurmack | 6/29/10 12:13 PM | "UNDER THE BONNET" is the English (uk) version of the americanized "UNDER THE HOOD". You should still have the same set of options. When you click on Under the Bonnet, scroll down and you should see a greyed out text box with a Browse button to the r |
