Saving for burning

[hope springs]

Hi, I am new to this downloading and burning to a cd stuff,and I have a couple of(simple?) questions. I can download ok and save to my library eventually, but the problem I am having is what to do with it then. How do I create a file/folder and save it for easy access so that I can burn it to a cd ,I can't seem to find any answers to this elsewhere on the forum. I have tried creating folders on the desktop and in my documents but I can't find these when trying to specify it in the Saving directory. I would be very grateful for any help, preferably in words of one syllable if possible, as I said I tend to struggle with this newfangled stuff.
Thanks.
Hope Springs.

Locate your dwnld folder & create a shortcut & put this onto your desktop. So in future you can just double-click the shortcut & your dwnld folder will open.
