Hello All.
I have a user who wants to change the folders that are listed when she goes to attach something to an Outlook2000 email.
The Defaults are I think My Docuements, history ,favorites and something else. She would like to change which folders appear on the left hand side of the insert file window I have looked many places and cannot find an answer.Any Ideas

Thanks ahead of time for your help.....
 
The default attachment folder comes from the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

The value of the entry Personal is what Outlook uses. Change the path to what the client wants and then restart Outlook. joegz
