Change default Downloads folder in Edge
Anyone know how to change the default Downloads folder in Edge in build 10159?
I've looked through all the settings, including the Advanced ones, and there's nowhere to change this.

Did you change the default downloads folder path?
If not, if you right click on the downloads folder, under the Location tab, you can change the location
Hey Mark, @Mark Phelps
Here's a new tutorial for how to change the default downloads folder in Microsoft Edge. :)

Thanks, Brink -- that worked. However, I went through the steps to try to change it from File Manager, and that did NOT work. It would not allow me to select a different Downloads directory. And, when I checked in regedit, there was no DefaultDownloadDirectory key there.
Except ... the tip did not work. In the Location tab, there are three buttons, the right two of which are Move and Find Target. I clicked the right one, navigated to the folder, but try as I could, it would not let me select that folder. There's no Save button or anything like that in File Explorer. You just have to close the window -- and when you're returned to the Location tab, the old default folder is still there.
I tried it a second time, and this time, clicked the Move button -- and while the contents of the default folder were (in fact) moved to the other folder, once I closed the window, the old default folder was still there.
And, when I used the regedit hack that Brink provided, inside the Edge entries, there was no DefaultDownloadDirectory key -- I had to create one.
