OLKC HIDDEN FOLDER - Located under Documents and Settings

Does anyone know how to delete this folder?

(have tried the obvious - show hidden files/folders, but does not show up.  Only under the command prompt can you see it's there.  OR when you go to save something from Outlook)

Does anyone know how to stop outlook from automatically dumping attachments into this location?

From my understanding, Outlook only creates that folder if you don't specify where you want the folder to be.  I'd change the key in the first link jsvor sent you, and you should be good to go.  The fact that its there shouldn't be too much of a hassle (since you can't see it from anywhere anyway)
You can go to start - run. Then type in the full path c:\documents and settings\user id\local settings\Temporary Internet Files\"OLK Folder name".

Then delete al the files in the folder, or view them first.
You will not be able to delete tis folder permanently. Outlook needs memory or hard drive space to open files from outlook.
This is the default folder it uses.

Hope this helps.
