What is OLK8 and what is it supposed to do?

Outlook wants to save attached files to a folder called
OLK8. When I want to go find the files I can't find the
folder OLK8 even thought the save path indicated that it
was in "local settings". It doesn't appear to be a hidden
file. Why is OLK8 so hard to find when it is the default
Outlook save location? The MS KB is (per usual) no help.
 
It is a temporary file for storing attachments. If you are using Windows
2000 or XP, try turning on hidden and system folders and then go look again.

I did turn on hidden folders in Control Panel
under "folder options" no luck, no OLK8. Does your
suggestion work for you, or are you just guessing? Where
is OLK8 and how do I access the files in it.

This is an unbelieveably difficult newsgroup to use and
search, please respond directly to my email (virus' be
damned, my REAL problem is called Microsoft Support).
thanks,
robert
