How can I change default "Save in:" for Outlook Express messages
 

1. Does the same behavior occur when you use File Save As in other applications (e.g., IE, Notepad, Word)?

2. OE Help About Files: What versions of MSOE.DLL, INETCOMM.DLL and DIRECTDB.DLL are displayed here (e.g., 6.00.1234.5678)?

Thanks. I assume its location is simply D:\My Documents (i.e., not
D:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents).

I'm still investigating this. Stay tuned to this station.

Windows is on C:. (D: is just a Ghost of C: + My Documents which I
update manually.)

When the incoming email is open and I go to FileSave As, the default
Save in: folder is My Documents on my backup hard disc (D). When I
change the Save in: folder to anything else the nes filder does not
become the default. It always reverts to My Documents on D. If I can't
make Desktop the default is there a way to change the default to My
Documents on C?

You've received an email message and you've opened it. While it's
open, you use "File Save as" to save it: What's the default folder
that it opens to?

If you select /another/ folder (not the desktop) and save the
message, does this same folder become the default when you do your
next Save As?

I'm not sure you can make desktop the default.

When I want to save an incoming message in OE I go to File,
then Save As. I get a diaog box with a "Save in:" bar which
lists a default folder, but it's one that I don't want to
use. So I have to use the pull-down menu to change this
folder each time from the default to the desktop folder,
which I prefer. How can I change the default folder to the
desktop folder?
