All of a sudden I noticed that Outlook 2003 is creating plain text files of
every message received and saves them in the root folder of the C:\ drive.
This practice apparently started sometime in March of this year. By the time
I noticed what was going on last week, more than 20,000 text files had been
created. The files are anywhere from 1Kb to 15 Kb in size. More than 2.5 gigs
were taken up in the 20,000+ files that I found. I deleted them all, but
Outlook continues to create the files every time it downloads messages. The
file naming convention looks something like "s2hk.6n" but the only thing that
remains consistent is the first letter; all the other letters and numbers
including the extensions keep on changing as the files are generated.
Does anyone have any idea what causes these files to be generated? How do I
stop Outlook from creating these files?
Your feedback is appreciated.
Best Regards, Phil
