Express 6 default attachements to a folder not temp. internet file

S

Sin

OK heres the problem to the community.

In Outlook Express ive been trying to save an open attachment from an email
to a folder that i want. I know now how to default the "Save Attachments ...
" to a folder i want. But the emails that i get hundreds of a day have to be
checked because of the variations of the emails.

So i open the document (doc or pdf, doesnt matter) and File/Save As and it
goes to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 . its a little annoying but i
can handle it. so if i have to deal with hundres of email that i need to save
the attachments then pick the place i want it to go would take too long,
specially because IE wants to put it in different named folders and taking up
space! (what a waste) i totally understnad the reason why microsoft did it
this way. ive read up on all the newsgroup for hours and i can do everything
else but this one thing. maybe i can hack up the "Save As " section so that
theres a button on the left (dont mind me if you dont understand that part)

i need to use outlook express, though i use microsoft outlook ( i know how
to do the default location for "save as" for open documents, easy, but
express i dont see if it has that)

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:
