Question

when i tried to see files from a goverment site to download forms my computer download to the address book instead of showing the documents i was trying to see from the sites

Answer 1

After you opt to download, you should be asked if you want to "run" or "save" the file.

You should select "save."
You should get a window such as "save as" where you indicate where to save the file (Save in),
You give a filename, and select the type of file.

Answer 2

Maybe you are trying Internet Explorer or some other web browsers. I also don't know where to change its settings. I am using Mozilla Firefox. Many says it's better than IE7. It's default download directory setting is at the desktop, meaning all of your downloads will be saved in the desktop & not anywhere else.
