When my boss opens an attachment (Outlook 2003) in say Paint or Excel, and then goes to File>Save As... It always defaults to a folder called OLK860. He wants it to default to C:\attachments. If he open an Adobe file, does the Save As... at first of course it defualted to somethng different, but once he changed it to C:\attachments, Adobe remembered and always starts the Save As... in c:\attachments, unlike Excel and Paint.
Of course he can just right click the icon of the attachment on the email and do the Save In.. which does default to c:\attachments, but what can a peon do? Sigh.

Any help on how to make email attachments open in another Microsoft product, for the Save In to start in any folder beside OLKxxx, would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks!
 
This looks promising:

If that doesn't help, use the keyword search in this forum for save as, there are many other results.
