I have got a problem with my Microsoft Outlook 2003 email, it's quite
difficult to describe so will give it my best shot!

The problem arises when I compose a new email that requires an attachment.
There is no problem with the actual sending of an email, nor is there a
problem with attaching documents to an email. What happens is that when I
click the filename to attach a file, two empty subfolders called 'outlook
calendar' and 'outlook contact' are automatically created in the same folder
where the attachment I want to email is located.

I can actually see these two folders above being created as I attach the
file I am looking for. This is not me creating the folders, it does it
automatically!

Like I said, this doesn't cause a problem with the sending or attaching in
emails, but I am finding these folders hidden all over the place which are
annoying so I'm having to delete them manually.

Is there anyone who knows how to stop this happening as there are so many of
these 'sub folders' all over our network and it is a pain having to search
and delete them!

Thanks.

Sounds like you have a computer from DELL. Uninstall their pre-installed
application called OutlookAddin and you should be fine.
