Saving Location "Tempory Internet Files" Problem

Hello,

While working on a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine using Microsoft Windows
Outlook 2003, I have an issue. If I open an attched Document that came in an
email and I decide to save this Document, by default, it saves to a "Tempory
Internet Files\OLKFC" Folder. Is there a way we can change this to always
point to a Network Drive mapping... My users sometimes forgets to look where
they are saving this file and automatically save it to this folder which is
later deleted...

Thanks in advance

I don't think you can change that. It's a security thing if I remember
right.

If that is the case, Outlook is leaving alot up to the User to be aware of
where he/she is saving a File once they Open an attachment. Most users would
not be aware of this and once they Open the File and work on the doc and
click "Save" it is saved to the "Tempory Internet Files" location and if
there settings are set to Delete all Temporary Files on Exit, their work is
Lost...

This is what just happened today for a user...

Just hoping there is something we can change in Outlook so users are saving
to a different location instead of the "Temporary Internet Files" Folder...

The key that controls this location is described in this article:
