Turn off attachments

[Guest]

I have a problem where users open attachments and the attachments get saved
in the Temporary Internet Files Folder. I want to turn off this feature
because we do not want secure documents saved to this temp folder. How can I
turn off the automatic save of attachments when a user opens a file? Is it
possible to turn off this feature (possibly through registry settings)?

How do you expect to open it if it doesn't get put on disk first? It's
simply not possible. Where would you have it put, if not in a folder that
is inaccessible to anyone but the owner?

Ok, if I can't disable the feature then I will need to redirect the folder so
we can delete the contents regularly.

You can do that with a registry key or, with a free tool that is available
for download, leave things where they are and delete them when you wish.
See this for both methods:

Do you know if it might be possible to clean out the SecureTempFolder
location with a login script?

Probably, if you can read the path from the registry.
