You can tell a link on a website is for a downloadable file when you put your mouse over the link and the Status window of your browser (usually bottom left) shows .PDF, .MP3, etc, as the file extension at the end of the URL.
Alternatively, you can right-click on the link and select “Properties” to be sure (see illustration on right). Be sure you trust the website owner before downloading a file.

Click once on the link with your RIGHT mouse button and you will see a menu like the one to the right open up.
In Internet Explorer Choose “Save Target As…” and download the file to your desktop (inFirefox you choose “Save Link As..”).
Once you select the “save target as” or “save link as” entry, a download screen will appear asking you where you want to save the file to on your computer.

You should save the file to your “Desktop” or another folder you can easily find.
Once you have downloaded the file, go to your desktop or the folder you saved it to and double click on the file to open it.
