i actually do this a lot myself, because thats where programs are supposed to go.

EDIT: i will find and hurt you if you put programs in your downloads folder...

Lol I have nothing in my downloads folder, but is it safe?(I feel dumb)

you can even put the files in your windows folder, having files in the most random places doesnt do any damage.

the only reason the specific folders (like /windows and /program files) exist is to properly organise files in the place they fit.

its like a bookshelf, you can have your books all over in no order, and they're all readable just fine, but to the human eye its more pleasing to see them sorted.

(+1 to the clean downloads folder)

Learned alot from my last pc when I would never clean it out.

No problem at all, you can put them anywhere you like, as long as you have write privileges to that folder (I assume you have an admin account?). There's no risk of doing any damage as long as you don't delete anything important by mistake in the process.

i like to have downloads empty, so whenever i download something, my download folder actually contains what i just downloaded.

As a bit of a pyro who prefers the dark, I want a Balrog. it would be nice to have my own personal Valaraukar.

 

Other question Why is there a picture of a Balrog titled with battle of Azanulbizar?

Lets be fair you have none. They followed  Morgoth not you. Now go play with your ring.

Edit: Oh wait you can't find it.
