IE 11: default it will go to %homedrive%%homepath%\downloads or %userprofile%\downloads - result is the same. If its not default there will be a REG_SZ value with name 'Default Download Directory' in key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main'

EDIT:

String path = String.Empty;
RegistryKey rKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main");
   if (rKey != null)
       path = (String)rKey.GetValue("Default Download Directory");
   if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
       path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile) + "\\downloads";
