I cannot open any attachments. My wife can on same computer Help

[BMWTRAVELS]

I cannot open any attachments for about a week now. Before this everything
was fine, computer working well and fast. I am using Vista and Outlook 2007.
On the same comouter, when my wife signs in - no problem - she can open
eveything as I did a week ago. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

it's a hidden folder - its easier if you get the path from the registry.

It's at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder

Just install the free tool mentioned on
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm and you won't have to worry
about hidden folders.

 

[BMWTRAVELS]

I did this and tried to clear folder and got message could not delete all
files. Male sure you don't have any files open. When I tried to open file -
message "file is not accesible. The file is corrupted or unreadable.??? Next

Apparently you have one or more of those temporary files open in some
application. Close all your applications before running the OutlookTool
program.

 

[BMWTRAVELS]

I closed everything, re booted and went to the Outlook tool and the same
messages appeared for both actions.

Perhaps the author of the tool can explain that. There's a link on the web
pages.
