the window info tool give just info for

• Window titles
• Text on the window (visible and hidden)
• Window size and position
• Contents of the status bar
• Position of the mouse pointer
• Color of the pixels underneath the mouse pointer
• Details of the Control underneath the mouse pointer

 

try this if it help you

#AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7
#include <File.au3>

_FindAllFile()

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Func _FindAllFile()
    Local $dir = @HomeDrive & @HomePath & "\Downloads\"
    Local $ArraySrtfiles = _FileListToArrayRec($dir, "*.exe", $FLTAR_FILES, $FLTAR_NORECUR)
    If Not IsArray($ArraySrtfiles) Then
        ConsoleWrite($dir & " = Invalid input path" & @CRLF)
        Return
    Else
        Local $sFilePath
        For $x = 1 To $ArraySrtfiles[0]
            $sFilePath = $dir & $ArraySrtfiles[$x]
            ConsoleWrite($sFilePath & " -> Timestamp:" & FileGetTime($sFilePath, $FT_MODIFIED, 1) & @CRLF)
        Next

What browser do you use?

For Chrome e.g. the default download location can be found this way:

 

$Str = "\\\\fdjakl\\fldias\\fdasköl"
$Str = StringReplace($Str, "\\", "\")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $Str = ' & $Str & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
Exit


$RegExDL_Dir = '(?i)^(?:.*?"download":{"default_directory":")([^"]+)(?:".*$)'
$StrPreferences = FileRead(@LocalAppDataDir & "\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences")
If StringRegExp($StrPreferences, $RegExDL_Dir) Then
    $DLDir = StringRegExpReplace($StrPreferences, $RegExDL_Dir, "$1")
    $DLDir = StringReplace($DLDir, "\\", "\")
    #cs <edit> - not required, as "\\\\" will be reduced to "\\" and not "\"
    if StringLeft($DLDir,1)="\" then $DLDir = "\" & $DLDir
    #ce <edit> - not required, as "\\\\" will be reduced to "\\" and not "\"
Else
    $DLDir = @UserProfileDir & "\Downloads"
EndIf

ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $DLDir = ' & $DLDir & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

once that is known monitor the folder for new EXE files to show up

I mainly use firefox, I use chrome for translations, both use the default windows Downloads folder 

in the location C:\Users\<UserName>\Downloads\    which, however, changes if you want, to both

in chrome in   chrome://settings/downloads     in Firefox in  about:preferences   in the section Files and Applications
