SYMPTOMS
When you are running Outlook 2002 on a Windows 2000-based computer, attachments are saved in the My Documents folder even though you change the default location in the registry.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, after you start Outlook, browse to the folder where you want to save an attachment, and then save the attachment. In the future, attachments that you save while Outlook 2002 is running go to that folder by default.

NOTE: When you restart Outlook, My Documents appears as the default directory.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
