unwanted folders being created

[Peter M]

I am using Vista Home Basic and Office 2007. I save my emails to specific
files withing the documents section. For example, all correspondence with
Company ABC would be in the folder c:/ (user)/documents/ABC

When I save emails in the htm format another folder is created. It seems
that these unwanted folders will hold things like XML documents such as
"color scheme" or filelist.xml.

I really do not want these excess folders. They were not created when I was
using MS XP Prof and Outlook 2003. What do I need to change to stop the
unwanted folder creation?

thanks.

When you do this file 'save as' of htm versions of the mail, you are
probably saving them as 'web complete' documents, rather than other kinds of
web page files. It depends on the mail app for what you may have available
in saving as *.htm. The 'save as' dialog should have a "Type' drop box with
several alternatives.

are you saying that if the file is saved as a ".txt" file or a ".msg", I
would not have the problem? Why is it that Vista creates these folders when
XP did not. In both cases I was saving stuff as .html

Save it as a .msg file. If you save it as htm or html, it will open with
your browser, if you save it as a msg, it will be a single file and open
with Outlook. Whenever I saved html files in XP, either from email or the
web, subfolders with content were always created. This is not a product of
Vista, rather your email client.
