How can I download videos and music without Real Player Downloader? That is a question that bugs many people who run into problems when using the Real Player Downloader.

Well you can easily retrieve 99% of the music and video with just simple knowledge of your Windows 8 PC. There is no need to download anything extra, because everything that you need is already included with the Windows 8 operating system.

To get started, you will need to open up your control panel. You can get here by typing “C” on the start screen, where the tiles are located. You should see the control panel among the results that pop up.

• In the upper right hand corner of the control panel, make sure that the “View by” option is set to either large icons or small icons.
• Next, click on the icon that say folder options. Click the “view” tab, which is in between “general” and “search.”
• Choose the option that says “Show hidden files, folders, and drives.”
• You will also need to uncheck the box that says, “Hide protected operating system files.

After you do this, you will be able to see all of the temporary files that Internet Explorer will download. This includes most movies and music. To get there you will need to follow a specific path. Go to My Computer/Users then click on the folder that has your user name. In that folder you should be able to click on the folder that says “AppData.” From there you will go through a series of folders, “âÂ?¦/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Low/Content.IE5”.

In the “Content.IE5” folder, you will find a number of folders, about 21, that will have the files that you seek. The files seem to be randomly dropped into any one of these folders. Luckily, there are only 21 folders. A shortcut to use is to simply sort by size once you get into each folder since music and video will almost always be the largest files. Once you master this method, it will be the perfect alternative to download movies without Real Player Downloader.
