Hi,
when i insert an attachment into an Outlook-email (outlook 2000), the default path it goes to is always "my documents". I've searched how to change this default path, but to no avail.
Can this be done?
thanx,
Ricky

Hi Ramsden82,
thanx for your fast comment,
i've adjusted that registerentry, but to no avail,

Greetings Paurths,
1. Click Start, and click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
4. Double-click Personal in the right pane.
5. Change the value to the path you want. For example:
C:\My Attachments, would set the location to the My Attachments folder.
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents, would set it to the My Documents folder on a computer that had more than one user profile.
6. On the Registry menu, click Exit.
7. Restart Outlook.
