Set the default location for saving attachments

[Guest]

Is it possible to set the default location for where attachments are saves to (as it is in Excel and Word) as at the moment it defaults to "My Documents" and I can not fin an option to change this.

It takes a registry change, but there are a couple of tools to make it easy. See http://www.slipstick.com/config/attachfolder.htm. Note that the change will affect other Windows programs that use the My Documents folder and, according to the MSKB article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=280985, may not make any difference in Outlook 2002.
