download something

when you click save it tells you where you are saving it in the popup

I just usually pull the folder or item to the desktop from whichever file it is in. Hold the cursor over it and drag it anywhere on the desktop and it should line it up for you.

Are you using Firefox?  Because anything I download goes straight to my "downloads" folder.  If you are...you can go to tools..options...main....then from there is the option to choose where you want your downloads to go.

You never did say what browser you were using....so, I cant help you there.  Another thing with Vista is, if you are unsure WHERE your file went when you download, you can use the search button under the windows start. Then you can drag and drop it to your desktop.
