How to Change Default Download Destination Folder in Windows Live Messenger 2011 (WLM11)

By default, Windows Live Messenger 2011 (WLM11) saves your downloads  to the following location: C:\ Users\ UserName\Documents\ My Received Files.  My Received Files folder is not a very easy and handy folder to put your downloads.

Let’s see how to achieve this result!

1. Run and login your Windows Live Messenger 2011 (WLM11).

4. In the right pane, under the File Transfer section, click the Change… button.
5. Select the new download destination folder from the list.
