Subject: RE: HELP WANTED - QUALITY IRISH MIDI Sites
If your browser options and/or file associations are set to PLAY a MIDI file rather than to SAVE it, you can have the problem described in the third message (above).

You can investigate these options - OR - there's another alternative. Even if you've only PLAYed a MIDI file, you may still be able to retrieve it by looking in your browser's Cache. Find the Cache using Explorer (or equivalent), view Details, sort in inverse order by date, and your recent files should be on top. Then you can copy/paste into a more convenient area.

Alternatively, do a Find File, specifying *.MID in the Name portion. This will locate all the MIDI files on your system. Scroll down the list, checking the location (folder) until you find those in your Cache. Checking the date/time field should show you those you have just downloaded. You can cut and paste from here, also.

I know this will be too complicated for some, too trivial for others, but thought I would try to help.
