My experience with BARD downloads and IE 9 is slightly different.

First, the similarities with the original post: I agree that Alt+S in answer
to the "open or save" question bypasses the Information Bar. I also agree
with the regimen for changing the default location of the download although
one can do this from the save dialog (see below).

Now the differences with the original post: When I've hit ENTER to download
a book and then hit Alt+N to go to the Information Bar, focus is on the
"View Downloads" button so in order to determine to save once in the
Information Bar, I must *first* press Alt+V or space to get into the
Download Center. I could have just as easily gotten there with Control+J.
Once I'm in the Download Center which I had to get to in order to proceed --
the buttons aren't visible from the Information Bar as the post below
indicates, at least not for me -- (as when I want to see the status of a
download or cancel it once it's started), on my Windows 7 system, focus is
on the "Pause Download" button rather than on the Cancel button. I must hit
the right-arrow key to move to the Cancel button. Then hitting either space
or ENTER will cancel the download. Similarly, if I hit Control+J to get to
the Download Center when I'm initially asked to go to the Information Bar
(rather than using Alt+N), moving left or right with the arrow keys moves me
to the "Open" Button and the "Save" Button which are as the message below
describes. Nota bene: with JAWS one will hear a lot of verbage in the form
of file and download location before hearing the button one is on. I imagine
this is due to the new presentation method by IE 9 for screen-readers.

Clear as mud? Experiment a bit and it will all come clear.

Hello List Members,

Those of you who have started using Internet Explorer 9 have probably
noticed that downloading doesn't work the same way as it does with earlier
versions of IE. The process can make you think nothing is happening, which
can be confusing and frustrating. Fortunately, however, it's easy to
download with IE9 once you understand the changes.

When you download a book with Internet Explorer 9, the prompt to download or
save appears in a toolbar called the Information bar. You can respond to
this prompt in one of two ways. One is to press Alt-N, which brings focus to
the Information bar where you can choose whether to open or save the file.
The other is to press Alt-S, which bypasses the Information bar and chooses
to save the file.

Once you press Alt-N and choose to save, or press Alt-S, the file begins to
download. To see the progress of the download, press Control-J to open the
View Downloads dialog box. Within this dialog box is an Options button that
takes you to a dialog where you can choose whether to be notified when
downloads are complete.

If you realize that you made a mistake and you don't want to download this
book, press Alt-N to go back to the Information bard. Focus will move to the
Cancel button, so press Enter to cancel the download.

By default, Internet Explorer 9 saves to a folder called Downloads in your
User folder. If you want to change this location, do the following:

1.	Press Enter on the link to download a book.
2.	Press Alt-N to bring focus to the Information bar.
3.	Press Tab to the Save split button.
4.	Press Down Arrow until you reach Save As.
5.	Press Enter.

You are now in a standard Save As dialog box where you can change the file
name and download location if you like.

We hope this information will help you download the books you want using
Internet Explorer 9. Happy reading.

The BARD Technical Support Team
