When you download something and you have the setting: Open with a program or whatever instead of saving the file, where does the file go (if anywhere)? More concerned than anything about maybe accidently d/ling viruses like this..

It automatically saves it in a temp directory somewhere in Documents and Settings, then opens it as if you had opened the file yourself. At least for IE.

Not sure about Firefox.

Well I just tested it out in Firefox and files go to "C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Local Settings\Temp" on my computer.
