hello, and thanks for the suggestion. none of the references you list or "the search for solutions" address the the issue of a blank downloads window after i download a file or web page.

the "save files to" option does not provide an option to have all downloads appear in the downloads window, so it doesn't go to a blank windows.

any other suggestions?

thanks very much.
