Change OLK8 path

C

Concierge

I have read all of the postings regarding the OLK8 temp folder. I get
it ... what hasn't been offered is a way to change this default
location. We have Outlook 2002.

My boss gets really confused with computers and it has been very
difficult trying to teach her how to save in a different location. :-(
I fear she will never understand the difference between her personal
documents, our work's network documents and outlook email documents.

I know where and how to access the OLK8 folder, but that doesn't solve
the problem.

I REALLY need to just change the default "save as" location to My
Documents. Is there ANY way to do this?

The web link sent does not really help ... it looks like it would. I
downloaded that Outlook DefPath and went through the steps. When I
tried to choose "My Documents" as my default location, it was already
set as my default location (OLK8 was not). I closed, outlook, reopened
and when I tried to "save as" an attachment it still went to OLK8.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
