Outlook 2003 attachments--save as NOT to a temporary file

[Stuckagain]

Hi,
Is there a way to force Outlook to save attachments to a directory other
than the securetemp directory that it automatically does now? It's a pain to
travel through the directory tree every time an attachment needs saving.....

I tried editing the registry to change the location of the securetemp
directory, but it didn't seem to help.......

Thanks-

You should NEVER be opening attachments from within mail, making chances,
and then saving the result. Save the attachment to a folder first, then
make the changes there. The Outlook Secure temp Folder contains exactly
what its name implies: _temporary_ files. In no way should you be relying
on them.

Then you didn't do it correctly. It works. I tried it.
