Help with XP Pro/Outlook Express

[Matthew]

I just purchased a new pc with Windows XP Pro and I'm
having trouble saving binary files into specific folders
in XP Pro. After downloading the files with Outlook
Express, then selecting combine&decode, the "save
attachments" box pops up. When I select "save all",
then "browse", the default destination in the "save to"
box is My Docs. My question is, can I change this default
destination to another folder? On previous computers the
default folder was the last folder you saved an attachment
to, but not with this computer. Thanks In Advance for any
help.

It's due to a bug in Q330994/April-03 Cumulative Patch for OE. Until it's
fixed, see:
