KerryJ’s Neotenous Tech

A quick, handy how-to for Windows users.

Ever have someone send you a link via email and you copy and paste it into a browser and then can’t figure out how to download the thing?

Notepad to the rescue - (da-dada-daaaah)!

• Open notepad
• Create html linked text - <a href=”linkurl”>download this</a>
• Save the text doc as a .html doc (select all files in the drop down, add the file extension manually).
• Open the html doc - it will open in your default browser
• Right click on the linked words (download this in this example) and save
