Emails appearing on Desktop

[Guest]

Emails from my inbox are appearing on my desktop ( as .msg).
They are appearing has enveplope icons with the subject as the file name.
The only thing i can think of would be them autosaving to a default location
(my desktop) but i cant seem to find an option in Outlook (2003) to change
this location.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Does that happen for all new messages you receive? Did you by any chance
dragged them out of Outlook onto you Desktop?

No, not all the message is recieve end up on the desktop.
I don't think i have dragged them onto my desktop, i tend not to drag my
items as i drop them before i get to the right folder. I use 'Move Folder'
option in the Left Click Menu.

There is no other built-in method in Outlook to do this in bulk or without
explicitly going through File-> Save As...-> *.msg
If it continues to happen check your add-ins.
