How to change the default folder of Outlook2002

[David Z]

when I want to save some attachment of my recieved e-mail in outlook2002, I
want to change my default folder. How should I do?
BTW I had tried the way for outlook 2003, but it didn't work.
It like that:
regedit --hkey-current user-software\microsoft\office\11.0\outlook\options
edit ---new ---string value
name: DefaultPath and input the path of the folder what you want to use for
default folder.
It didn't work for outlook 2002, just for 2003.
I need your help!

I believe this didn't work for OL 2002. See

for why I believe this is so.

Huh? Your prior message seems to indicate you already know that, since you
quoted the key path in that message. For Office XP (and Outlook 2002),
substitute "10.0" for "11.0" in the key path.

I knew this way. I just thought you got a new way. Thanks again!
