Changing Location For Saving Attachments

Important note: These registry changes are provided as examples of how these parameters might be changed. Be sure you have a complete backup of your registry and an up-to-date ERD (Emergency Repair Disk) before you make any changes. The Registry editor can make your system unusable, so be careful! We take no responsibility for these registry changes - do them at your own risk!

I don't know about you, but when I get email attachments I like to be able to find them.

For Outlook XP:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security

For Outlook 2000:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Security

For Outlook 97:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Outlook\Security

Double-click "OutlookSecureTempFolder" and modify it to the desired location.

As you can see from the picture below, you can simply enter the new location directly in Registry Edit.
