I'd like to set the users default download folder on their PC to a certain

to try to minimise the chances of them being littered all over their PCs.
Any suggestions?
None, except to give up.
I don't want to create directories on their PCs just make
them the default directory when the download dialogue appears.
That could, almost, be harmless. But then again, clicking on a
linke to download a file called "start.exe" and not noticing that
the download directory is not the usual one, but instead C:\windows\
could be ... interesting.
Don't mess with people's defaults. It's their defaults, not yours.
Would you be able to set the old default directory back afterwards?
Would you then know the directory name? Could you send it to your
server?
