    The default folder for saving attachments in incoming mails in outlook express 6 is My Documents. How do I change default this to desktop ?

    I know that I can use the drop-down menu while saving attachments to specify desktop as the location and that desktop stays as the default for further saves.

    But I run Javacools' MRU-Blaster often, which restores this default folder back to My Documents. Is there any way to tweak the registry to change the default saving location from My Documents to desktop ?

    Thank you Pete C. I have never tried Tweak UI. Should I create system restore point, before I run this ?

    Although I have never experienced a problem using Tweak UI - it is basically a Registry GUI, it would be a wise move :)

    Thanks Scot. Ran the Tweak UI. I put in the dekstop in all the 5 custom places bar. Rebooted but the OE6 attachment storage folder still remains as My Documents. What's wrong ?
