Outlook saves e-mail attachments in temporary folders at C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files. The folders are all OLK**with several being there. I've read around the various solutions being offered but none seem to apply. (Checking the 'show hidden folders' options don't work nor does using 'run' from the start menu and typing %temp%. Even dos doesn't seem to show the OLK folders.)However, if you know the folder name and type it into the address bar of Windows explorer the folder and its contents magically appear! This is fine if you know the folder name and you can find this by starting to save an e-mail attachment and noting the suggested folder name into which it is to be saved. However, there appear to be numerous OLK folders and once the e-mail with the attachment has been deleted there seems to be no way to to find the OLK folder using the 'save as' trick. So far I have managed to track down and delete 5 OLK folders but suspect there are more in there. I've seen a batch file intended to purge these folders but would prefer to see and manipulate the folders rather than just blanket delete them.
The reason for wanting access to these folders is to delete files to save disk space and to remove potentially commercially sensitive documents. On occasion access could also be useful when an e-mail and attachment is deleted accidently.
Anyone got any ideas?
