Selenium webdriver python: opening a Chrome browser to run a test case does not load saved browser settings

Question

I am trying to run a selenium test case in a Chrome browser. Before that, I set the default download location for Chrome browser files to say f: / xyz

When a selenium script is launched that clicks on the link to download the file - it is loaded in the default chrome (c: / documents and settings / downloads), and not in f: / xyz, which I have installed earlier

How to fix it?
