In your email program (Outlook Express?) click on Save Attachments and
then you will be presented with a Browse option where you can select
the folder that you want the attachment to be saved to. Then you can
open the saved file from its folder, rather than opening it from
within the email program.

Hope this helps.

When I receive an Excel or Word attachment and open, since it is a temp
file,
when I do a Save As, it defaults to that location. *Since I have Excel and
Word set up with root directories, why won't email attachments default to
those locations when doing a Save As? *Is there any way to change that?- Hide quoted text -
