Attachments

An attachment is a file that is included to be sent with an e-mail. Attachments can be just about any file type. Some files are restricted to be sent over e-mail due to the fact that they can easily contain viruses.

Where did my attachment go?

The way Microsoft Outlook is set up, it automatically saves attachments to a temporary folder called OLK.

The OLK Folder is actually a hidden folder. You have to do a search for "OLK" on the "Documents and Settings" Folder. At first, it won't show any results, but when you click the option Change whether hidden and system files are included on the left menu bar. On this, select Expanded - includes all files and folders. After this is set, it will find it, the folder will have OLK in the name. When you double click to open it, click Yes. Your attachment should be within this folder.

A way to avoid having to deal with the OLK folder is to specify a different location to save your attachments. You can do this by saving attachments to My Documents or the Desktop. Image:Saving_attachments.png
