You CAN change the default download folder, however, Windowsupdate will no longer work. Something in the path statement in the registry is checked, before windowsupdate will work. If it's changed...you get the idea.
Can't have your cake and eat it too.
Caveat: there are some software packages that SAY they can do it, (IE plugins of some sort), however I haven't tried any of them to see.
