I see that you may be able to change the default "File / Save As" folder in
unique manners in each application, but is there a way to do it globally?

Ex: In Outlook, I get an attachment and I want to save it. If I am not
careful, the file gets saved to some random temp directory (folder). Then
later, it's a pain to locate that file. I would prefer to make the temp
directory = "Project1" or whatever I choose - for easy retrieval. Not just
for Outlook, but for MS Office applications too.

Appreciate any help out there.

Michele,

In MS Office applications you can do this:

TOOLS menu | OPTIONS | FILE LOCATION tabs & change there

Not all applications within office can be changed

If it is a "random temp directory", it is BECAUSE you are OPENING the
attachment first. Don't open it. Just R-click and pick "Save As" the
starting point should be My Documents
