oh yes i have may users say they want to download the internet
that one always makes me laugh 
and yes the call i always get is how come i downloaded the program
but i cant say for instance still read the pdf file, when i look
usually the installer is sitting on thier desktop untouched. yes that
brings me to another one explainig to people why its not wise to a
million shortcuts and files on thier desktop. 

explain why its good practice to have one area that they save thier
data in and how to create sub folders to organise their data. good
house keeping in other words.
