Internet Explorer 9带来了大量变化,包括用于下载和管理文件的新界面。因此,本教程将解释如何在Internet Explorer 9中进行下载、如何访问和管理(access and manage)下载的文件、清除下载历史记录以及更改(history and change)默认下载文件夹(default download folder)。最后但同样重要的是,我将解释Internet Explorer 9用于监视和阻止某些文件被下载的安全功能,称为(security feature)SmartScreen 过滤器(SmartScreen Filter)。
下载的工作原理
当您想要下载文件时,Internet Explorer 9会在其窗口底部显示一个小菜单,为您提供通常的选择:打开(Open)文件(这意味着先下载然后再打开)、保存(Save)或直接取消(Cancel)下载. 如果单击“保存(Save)”按钮中包含的箭头,您将获得其他选项,包括可以将文件保存为与原始名称不同的名称或默认下载文件夹以外的其他位置(在(default download folder)另存为(Save as)的帮助下)。
下载开始后,您会在同一底部窗口(bottom window)中看到其进度。正如预期的那样,您可以控制暂停、恢复或取消下载。
如果您一次下载多个文件,您将看到所有下载的摘要,而不是单个摘要。
下载完成后,您有不同的选项,具体取决于您下载的文件类型。例如,如果您下载了档案或文档,您将看到一个带有小箭头的打开按钮。(Open)如果单击该箭头,您还将获得“打开(Open)方式”选项,该选项可让您选择要用来打开文件的程序。
如果你下载一个可执行文件,你会得到一个运行(Run)按钮,它允许你执行文件。
查看活动和旧下载
如果您想随时访问包含活动和旧下载的列表,请单击Internet Explorer窗口底部下载菜单中的(download menu)查看下载(View downloads)按钮。此外,您可以在“工具”菜单(类似滚轮(Toos)的按钮)中或通过按键盘上的Ctrl+J找到它。
“下载(Downloads)”窗口显示当前下载或已完成下载的文件。对于每个文件,您可以获得名称、下载位置、大小、存储位置(或将要存储)以及您可以执行的操作的上下文列表,具体取决于其状态。
要清除您的下载历史(download history),只需单击清除列表(Clear list)按钮。
更改默认下载文件夹(Default Download Folder)
默认情况下,Internet Explorer 9(或任何其他浏览器)将您下载的文件保存在您的用户配置文件中的(user profile)Downloads文件夹中。如果您更改“下载(Downloads)”文件夹的位置,Internet Explorer会将文件保存在新位置。
但是,如果您只想更改Internet Explorer的(Internet Explorer)默认下载文件夹(default download folder),您可以从上一节中显示的“下载(Downloads)”窗口中执行此操作。在那里,您可以在左下方找到一个名为“选项”的链接。(Options)单击(Click)它,您将进入“下载选项(Download Options)”窗口。浏览(Browse)到要用于下载的新文件夹,然后单击确定(OK)以确认您的选择。
Internet Explorer 告诉(Internet Explorer Telling)您文件(File)可能会损害您的计算机(Computer)是怎么回事?
有时您会遇到Internet Explorer不允许您下载的文件。它会给您一条消息,说该文件“不常下载,可能会损害您的计算机”('is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer')。如果你真的想下载文件,你会怎么做?

Managing Downloads in Internet Explorer 9
Internet Explorer 9 brought plenty of changes, including a new interface for downloading files and managing them. Therefore, this tutorial will explain how downloading works in Internet Explorer 9, how to access and manage downloaded files, clear your download history and change the default download folder. Last but not least, I will explain a security feature used by Internet Explorer 9 to monitor and block certain files from being downloaded, called SmartScreen Filter.
How Downloading Works
When you want download a file, Internet Explorer 9 shows a small menu on the bottom of its window, which gives you the usual choices: Open the file (which means downloading it first and then opening it), Save it or simply Cancel your download. If you click on the arrow included in the Save button, you get additional options, including the possibility to save the file under a different name then its original or in another location than the default download folder (with the help of Save as).
Once the download starts, you are shown its progress in the same bottom window. As expected, you have controls for pausing, resuming or canceling the download.
If you are downloading more than one file at a time, you will see a summary of all downloads instead of individual summaries.
When the download is complete, you have different options, depending on the type of file you downloaded. For example, if you downloaded an archive or a document, you will get an Open button with a small arrow. If you click on that arrow, you also get the Open With option, which lets you choose the program you wan to open the file with.
If you download an executable file, you get a Run button which allows you the execute the file.
Viewing Active and Old Downloads
If you want to access at any time the list with active and old downloads, click on the View downloads button found in the download menu at the bottom of the Internet Explorer window. Also, you can find it in the Toos menu (the wheel-like button) or by pressing Ctrl+J on your keyboard.
The Downloads window shows both the files currently downloaded or completed downloads. For each file, you get the name, the location where it was downloaded, its size, where it (or will be) stored and a contextual list of action you can do, depending on its status.
To clear your download history, simply click the Clear list button.
Changing the Default Download Folder
By default, Internet Explorer 9 (or any other browser) saves your downloaded files in the Downloads folder, from your user profile. If you change the location of the Downloads folder, Internet Explorer will save files in the new location.
However, if you want to change the default download folder just for Internet Explorer, you can do so from the Downloads window shown in the section above. There you can find a link called Options on the bottom left side. Click on it and you get to the Download Options window. Browse to the new folder you want used for downloads and click OK to confirm your choice.
What's Up with Internet Explorer Telling You a File Can Harm Your Computer?
Sometimes you can encounter files which Internet Explorer won't let you download. It will give you a message, saying that the file 'is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer'. What do you do, if you really want to download the file?
