EZdesk Guide for Downloading and Installing Click2Doc.
1) Create a Download Folder
First, organizing your download files will help. Let's
start by creating a new folder (directory) called C:\My Downloads for your
use. This will be the folder you use for all downloaded items. Sub
directories can be created when needed.
Using Windows Explorer or from My Computer: Open
your C: drive, and then click on these menu items, one after the other: File
| New > Folder.
When a folder entitled New Folder is created, rename it "My Downloads".
2) Downloading a File
Click on the download link.
You will get the File Download Dialog box from Windows. You may be asked
to choose between A) Open the file from its Present Location or B) Save this
file to Disk. Select "Save the File to Disk"
Then you will see the "Save As" Dialog Box. At the top of the dialog box it will say something like "Save In:" and you will be able to select a directory (folder). Select "My Downloads". Then click "Save" at the bottom of the dialog box. Once the download is completed, you are ready to proceed with installation.
Installation:
