    Hi Doloresm4509,

    As mentioned above that you are downloading the document and then it creates an icon on your desktop.

    When you will download the document then definitely its going to "Save" somewhere in your computer and would create an icon for it.

    I assume, by default your downloads are going to "Desktop"  location, which you need to change so that the document will save to other location rather than going on desktop.

    • When you select file to download you must Right Click on it and "Save As"
    • It would definitely as you where would you like to "Save" it, then select Document or Download location of your computer.

    *Also, let us know the workflow that you follow to download the file. and which web browser you are using? Because download procedure is different for different web browsers.

    Let us know if it still doesn't work.

    Regards,
