SUMMARY
The default directory that file attachments are loaded from and message attachments are saved to is set by the start up directory property set on the Microsoft Exchange icon.



MORE INFORMATION
This can be modified by following the steps listed below for each client.

Microsoft Windows 95
If Microsoft Exchange is being started from the desktop, then a Short Cut must be created to modify the Startup directory. The file properties can not be modified on the Inbox icon.

To create the short cut, right click the Desktop, and choose Shortcut from the New menu item. Create a shortcut to Exhcng32.exe and set the shortcut property for Start In directory to the desired location; for example, C:\TEMP.

Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups: and Windows NT 3.51
With the Microsoft Exchange icon selected in Program Manager, click Properties on the File menu. Set the Working Directory to the desired location; for example, C:\TEMP.
