This is actually a bit of a prologue post, in preparation for a much longer one about getting screening information from the MyStockProspector into Toolkit6. If you are already familiar with downloading and locating files using your web browser, and have a subscription to the MyStockProspector site, I would encourage you to take a look at the next posting in this series, Support Ticket 82 - MyStockProspector and Toolkit6.

With the exception of Internet Explorer 8, current web browsers now keep track of recently downloaded files, and allow those files to be opened from a list. While these browsers have methods for showing this list by going through menus, these menus can be customized or hidden, so this note only shows keyboard combinations.

A few notes on the keyboard combinations listed for each browser:

• Anything inside a set of is the key that needs to be pressed.
• The + means that the keys need to be pressed at the same time.
• The Apple key on a Mac keyboard will have a small apple and/or a four leaf clover design on it

ON WINDOWS:

• Internet Explorer 9 and higher - +
• Firefox 3 and higher - +
• Chrome 10 and higher - +
• Safari 4 and 5 - + +
• Internet Explorer 8 - Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is the only current, widely used browser, that does not keep track of recently downloaded files.(SEE NOTE BELOW)

ON MACINTOSH:

• Safari 4 and 5- + +
• Firefox 3 and higher - +
• Chrome 10 and higher - + +

NOTE ON IE 8:

Other than searching for a file after it is done downloading, the only way to be sure where a file will be when using IE 8 is to make sure you note, and know, how to get to the folder which appears after clicking 'Save' for a file you are downloading.
When using IE 8, we strongly suggest you choose Desktop as the location to save your files to, as it is the easiest to find when the download is complete.
