How can one view the OLK# folder (%drive%:\Documents and
Settings\%USER_NAME%\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK#\ ) that contains the files created
Click to expand...
when opening an attachment from Outlook? I can view it with a DIR command
from the command prompt but I would like to be able to do this from Windows
Explorer. Explorer is configured to show hidden and system files/folders.

I also know that I can change the location where Outlook creates these files
but I would prefer not to have to do this.

Thanks

Chuck
 
It's hidden because of the ini file in the folder. If you have an old NT cd
or have it installed on a workstation, get winfile.exe from it and use it to
browse the folder, it's easier. Also, if you know he exact path, you can
open it in windows explorer, you just can't browse to it. (copy the path
from the command prompt)

Thanks. I assume I could also delete the desktop.ini file using "del /Ah
desktop.ini" without any adverse effects?
