How do I automatically save attachments to my hard drive?

[Ed]

I want to create a rule to automatically save attachments to my hard drive.
How do I do it? I don't see anything to do that when I try to create a rule.

Hi Ed,
you can do it with changing a registry key

Thank you, but all that does is set the default directory for saving the
attachments. I want Outlook to automatically save the attachments as it
receives the e-mails. I get at least 50 e-mails a day that I have to sort
through and if I can get Outlook to automatically save them to the hard
drive, then half of my work is done. Is that possible?

You'll have to either write your own code to do this or use a third-party
tool. These samples show a couple of different ways to save attachments:
