Problem With File Save As Default Location Outlook 2007

R

Rafael

The default location for 'File' --> 'Save As...' when I've opened an
attachment within Outlook and want to save it is as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\O...

I'm afraid I can't remember what the rest of the 'O...' file name is
but anyway...there are already some files shown here but I want to
delete them.

The issue I have is that when I try to navigate within Explorer to
this location, I cannot because the 'Temporary Internet Files' folder
does not seem to exist.

My questions are:

1. Where on earth are the files I can see when I try to do a 'File' --
'Save As'? I've tried doing a search and they are not found. FYI:
Show hidden files and folders is definitely on.

2. Can I change this default location and if so, how do I do it?

I hope that this makes sense. I'll answer any questions if you need
further information in order to help me. If this is the qrong group,
please point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance.

The Temporary Internet Files folder is handled differently by Explorer than
other folders.

Yes. Both questions are handled by this:
