You can use edit and create, try to find out where you’re saving this file. So you just click on a link and it opens it. So this is not just the video backs, this is not just the clip art images, this is anything really that you’re able to open from our website or even from other websites. So what is happening right now, is Chrome is using the settings that are going to allow you to preview any kind of item. If you open up a file, or rather you click on a link and then click on a file to download it, sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes, you might notice that you don’t get a cute little download option, it just opens the file in the viewer, then you open the viewer and you’re like wait a minute waaaaah! I want to save this, I want to save this whole thing, how do I save this? I don’t know how. What do I mean by that? In the background I have our PresenterMedia website open, don’t worry guys I tested this out this morning. Or more specifically, what happens when you click on a link in Chrome and it keeps opening instead of saving to your computer. Good morning everybody, this is Kara Jones with PresenterMedia, and today we’re talking Chrome. To change this setting, start by clicking the "Tools" icon on your Chrome browser Then, the file automatically opens instead of saving when I download in Chrome what happens is that the file will automatically open instead of downloading to the folder, and will open in whatever the default program is for the file type. So, if you click "Always open files of this type (even once!). The file automatically opens.how to make it download instead! Show in folder - this opens the folder (usually downloads folder) containing the file, so you can then move it, open it, etc.This is where it gets very tricky and can easily wreak havoc later. This changes the default setting so instead of saving the file, it will open it in the default program, then let you choose whether or not to save the file.

Open - this will open the file in the default program for this file type (for GIF it is typically Edge, PNG / JPEG is usually Paint, WMV is usually Windows Media Player, and PPTX is PowerPoint).Clicking the dropdown menu only gives you additional options. By now, the file is already downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer.
