Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / June 2005Remembering last folder saved to
My Outlook Express doesn't seem to remember that last folder an attachment was saved to. I regularly check Windows update and believe I have all the up to date patches but I may have missed something. I'd appreciate any ideas you chaps might have OE version 6.00.2800.1123 Windows 98SE Regards Pete My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: > My Outlook Express doesn't seem to remember that last folder an > attachment was saved to.

Do you have a habit of cleaning out MRU or other data when you shut down your PC? If you save an email now and then try it (I actually happened to be using an 98se box right as I was looking at this on this screen <g>) and then save another file in 20 minutes or so does it still save to the same location or does it only revert to the default "My Documents" (I think) when you reboot or have cleaned your PC with a cleaning application such as X-Cleaner?

Sherlock Holmes Hello Galen, Thanks for the info, I'm only really running the basics on this machine as in Anti-Virus, Firewall, Spybot, Ad-Aware, Spyware Blaster, a Pop-up blocker and a junk cookie app. I've not had chance to run any sort of disk manager so I don't think I've messed with the MRU or the registry yet LOL. I've tried the save E-mail trick but it reverts to D:\ (I'm running two hard drives no CD-RW) which the My Documents link points to. Oh well I'll just have to get into gear and sort the laptop out LOL Regards Pete > My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Galen That's a known bug that's fixed in XP SP2. I'm not sure if there is a corresponding update for Win98. There is a workaround fix: Set the "Save Attachment" Default in OE (Line 242) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Get http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/oesaveas_all.vbs or http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/XP_OESaveAttPath.exe *Note: for 9x systems, and possibly Win2K, you need the VB6 runtimes installed to use the EXE version.
