Android — This is the default location used for app cache and saved data. Alarms, Ringtones, Notifications — This folder stores custom audio files for alarms, ringtones, and notifications that can be used by some default and third party apps. Cardboard — This is another self-explanatory folder, which contains data for some virtual reality apps, but will otherwise be empty. DCIM — Pictures taken by your main camera app are saved in here.
Downloads — Anything that you download from a web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, will appear here. Pictures, Music, Movies, Video — These are all default folders used by various apps for your media needs. Some apps will allow you to specify other locations, but most media players will search these directories by default.
The Downloads location can be moved to some other location by two methods. One through 'Registry' and the other through 'Windows Explorer'. This hack changes the Download folder of any software or service which depend on Windows system download location,forcing them to download the files to the changed position. Click Yes if any UAC prompt appears. For simple understanding,a key is just the folder present in the left side of the window.
Navigate to the Registry Directory After navigation,you can see the Registry Settings for various default Library locations, like Music,Downloads,Documents and many more. Look for it and right click on the Name corresponding to it. Your downloads folder must have changed. How did you get the Get Files in Folder to return just the most recent? I've got it sorting by creation time, but it returns the full list - not the single most recent? And then how do you save as?
Save as is something you have to set up in the browser. By default, things are saved in the Downloads folder. The challenges with this are we do not know where the file will be downlaoded to yes we can hardcode for each computer but I prefer not to and the filename may be different every time. I have done it in 2 different ways :. Send Control-J and click on Show in Folder. A more reliable method that I am using now is to configure the browser to open the Save As dialog box when downloading file.
This way I can specify the folder and name of the file. Once saved I know exactly where the file is and I can take action on it.
GanCW, thank you for taking the time to respond. You are correct. Using the Send Keys function tends to be less reliable.
As for your second option, are you using Edge? However, this creates a UI element at the bottom of the current Edge window. Not a new window. Running "get files in folder" when sorted by creation time returns the file path to the file I need, but I can't figure out how to launch the file in Excel. When trying to launch it, I get an error stating that the File Path has to be a Path, and "get files in folder" generates a list of files.
I have the download process in a loop. Each loop runs through an excel column, takes the next value in line, enters it into a search and downloads the report that pops up 1 file in a ZIP folder. I then extract the file to another folder, and want to launch it in excel. The loop runs about 80 times resulting in 80 open spreadsheets. The problem is that it keeps opening the same file, the first one downloaded. Is there any way that I can either rename the file that is unzipped so as to change the "modified" date, so that I can change the criteria within "get files in folder".
