Unable to save files or attachments from Outlook 2003
We have a number of Windows XP workstations running Office 2003. When they atempt to open an attachment the system gives the error that
'Can't create file: ... Right click on the folder you want to create the files in, and then click properties on the shortcut menu to check your permisiion on this folder.'
I have checked and the user is a local admin so has all the permission needed. The only way i have been able to sort it is to recreate the users profile, this however is not suitable, is there any other way of sorting the problem?

This problem is user specific, if you log in as a diffrent user it works fine, if recreate the users profile it also works again. but I do want to have to recreate user profile each time this happens.
