If you just clicked on a PDF document, and you have the PDF web plug-in installed, it would have opened it up in Internet Explorer. (It's like Acrobat Reader is embedded in Internet Explorer) The way to save it (once it's completely loaded) is to click on the save button (the disk icon) and then it will prompt you to save it to the hard disk.
Alternatively, a safer method is to control-click/click and hold on the link to the PDF file, and save it to disk directly. The PDF web plug-in won't kick in, and instead your PDF file will save to the hard disk, where you can later open it up using Acrobat Reader. I never really understood the reason for the PDF web plug-in. It just seemed to slow things down, because you'd want to go check page 45 of a document, but had to wait forever for it to load. You might as well download the whole thing to your hard disk, and surf the net in the meantime. :) Cheers, Darren. -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: Accessing IE cache >How do you access IE's cache to extract files. >Like tonight, I went to an ATO document which was a 48 page PDF which >took a while to download.

The easiest way to find it is to open IE, under the Edit menu go to preferences then to download options which will show where the download location is. You can change this location - I myself download to the desktop. Bob
