Saving files in from Outlook

[Melinda]

How do you change the default folder to save files from
the temp folder to the my documents when you open/save a
Word of Excel document that you received as an attachement.

Melinda,

I believe this needs to be changed in Excel and Word not Outlook. Meaning this will change your default location for all documents.

In Excel - Tools- Options choose the General Tab. - You will see a path called the "default location" Change it to where you would like the default to ve.

Word - Tools Options - File Locations - choose Docuements - then click modify if you wish to change it.

We have already edited that in the registry to point all
personal folders to their my documents. All other files
created in Excel and Word default to the correct folder it
is just when we open a document sent to us in an email and
we try to save it, the default folder is a temp folder in
the local settings. Thanks anyway. If you have any other
ideas let me know.
