You could, in the Blog’s Control Panel go here:
Options => Miscellaneous => Miscellaneous Options
Uncheck the box for: Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders
In the little URL window thing there, type the path to the folder you want to store your images. Could be anything you want, if I remember right. =)
Default is wp-content/uploads
YOU could make it: wp-content/downloads
Then click the UPDATE OPTIONS button.. Incase you might run into problems by just doing that, you’ll want to CHMOD that wp-content folder and the downloads folder.. 755 I think…some use 777, but I wouldn’t recommend it..
I hope this helps..and I hope this is what you’re asking for.. =) Just post back if you run into further problems..
