Where does Office/Outlook save an an attachemnt opened directly from an email?

Running Office 2007 Pro.  If you open an email in Outlook, then open an attached file directly from within the email and simply click on the "Save" icon in Word or Excel or whatever the attachment opens in, WHERE does it save the file to?  I have a couple of users who have opened attachments directly from within Outlook, made changes and then clicked "Save" but have no ide where the document saved to......Thanks in advance.

Hello tenover,

The Outlook folder where attachment opens is the OLKxx folder.  This folder is difficult to access. Here is a way to access the folder and files

In Vista, the Secure Temp folder is located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\xxxxxxxx
