1. HINT: Use your desktop (this is the screen that is visible when no programs are open) to place your 2 download folders on. This allows you easy access to install and create shortcut icon. AND, this is an easy place to remember and find a folder because the folder is not buried in directories and subfolders inside of subfolders inside subfolders if you get my drift.

HINT for those a little more comfortable with downloading files and orgainizing your desktop icons and folders: I have a Quilt Folder on my desktop for all my quilt icons. If you put the KeepHere and YesUcan folders in the Quilt Folder, it segregates the quilt related items from other clutter on the Desktop area and gives the desktop some visual and logical organization.

NOTE: Computer quilters who are more comfortable with downloading files, choose any location you wish for downloading. But I do suggest that you review the Install portion of this page as KeepHere, KeepFive, What Cooks, & YesUcan have a couple of quirks to be aware of.

NOTE of CAUTION: Scanning for viruses is a good idea when bringing new files to your computer from an outside source, especially .exe files, (Exe files are application file.)

Step 3: Change the name of the folder from New Folder to KeepHere, KeepFive, What Cooks OR YesUcan: (suggestions, make all folders at the same time, then you can download all programs one after the other)

Step 4: To start the download, click .

• Size of the file
• Speed of your modem ( 28k, 56k, dsl, t1, isdn)
