question-olk directory
I have a computer on a corporate network that has no path to the OLK directory
the path in the registery is listed as c:\doc and setting\user\loc settings\temporary internet files. It does not have the added olkxxx directory listed. If I browse the temporary internet files it contains only cookies and a few cached IE files...no documents. My question is are they being saved, and if so where. It seems that no olk directory is being generated. Is this controlable by Outlook, I dont think I have seen a setting relating to it in the past. Thanks in advance |

question-olk directory
The location could have been modified by your email admin so that the folder
is cleared when you clear your Temporary Internet files. The setting is only controllable via the registry. Deleting the key will generate a new one with a reference to an OLK folder as soon as you open your first attachment from within Outlook. Verify with your system admin what the intention of the change was. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Saabiar" wrote in message news I have a computer on a corporate network that has no path to the OLK directory the path in the registery is listed as c:\doc and setting\user\loc settings\temporary internet files.

question-olk directory
You can't see the files because an Explorer extension kicks in and forces
the display to only show the urls, time, .etc that is relevant to Internet Explorer. You can see the files if you are comfortable in working with a DOS prompt or some sort of 3rd party file explorer. Other than that, I have never seen a setup truncate the location. Since you are working in a corporate environment, I am guessing that the pc support gods have configured it this way for a reason. Have you talked with them to determine why and/or explain what issues you are having?

Thanks Roady and neo for the info.
There is no system policy in place because the olk directory exisits on any other machine that I have looked on. I didn't think to look in DOS for the files within temp internet, I can try that. I will delete the reg key and see if this recreates the olk folder. Thanks again..helpfull information!
