How to give Csharp Webbrowser default Path to download files

Question

I am making a web browser in C Sharp, I want that all the files downloaded by the user on this web browser from any web sites, web browser saves it in one default folder (i.e C:\Users\Abc\Downloads)

Currently when i try to download file from any url it pops up a dialogue box asking for path, and it is annoying thing to have so i just wants to give one default path where it just saves the file automatically without asking user for the path.

Like we have default download path for Mozila firefox and google whenever user download any file from the web browser it saves in one default folder. so how can I achieve this in .net 4.0 Csharp web browser.

Are you using the web browser control in your C# project or are you building a browser from scratch? — JaggenSWE, Jun 12 '12 at 07:17

I'm afraid you can't with the webbrowser control, maybe take a look at

first you don't use IE, and you can do more if I'm right
