Outlook 2010 setting default save location
Hi,
If I choose to save an attachment that has been mailed to me, the default location is always:
Libraries\Documents
I would like to nominate a different location. I have searched the Options, but cannot find anywhere to change this location.
Can anyone help with this?

Outlook 2010 setting default save location - additional question

Kari Kari (or anyone), the above worked perfectly for changing the default directory when saving attachments, but had no effect on the default location when I create an email and want to attach a file. Outlook goes to the standard:
Libraries\Documents
How can I change the default starting location when I want to attach a file to an Outlook message?
Thanks,
Joe
