spreadsheet, then i select save as from excel, it goes to "C:\Documents and
Settings\"USER"\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK27F"

That can't be changed, as far as I can tell. Save it first before opening
it.

After thinking about it some more, you CAN change the Outlook Secure Temp
location by modifying the registry and perhaps that will work for you. See
