How do you set where files emailed are automatically saved

when I get an email with a document as an attachment, Word automatically
saves it in a temp folder - makes it hard to find! How can I set the default
for those attachments to be saved to the desktop. (It's not in my browser
settings - those are set to download to the desktop - it's something about
when I "open as a microsoft word" document.

This is not user configurable, however it is bad practice to open documents
from e-mail attachments. Save them to your hard drive and open them from
there.
