In most major browsers, after downloading a file, you can press CTRL+J to open the list of downloaded files, then double-click on a recently downloaded file to open it (or click a folder icon to the right to open the file location in File Explorer).
After using the Outlook desktop application (v365 ProPlus for Windows 10) to receive an e-mail, I might notice the e-mail has an attachment which Outlook can't show a preview of, and save the attachment to a particular place on the hard drive, navigating through the file directory tree to identify the place. I would like the equivalent of a Downloads window, to allow me to quickly access the file, instead of opening a new File Explorer Window and again manually navigating down to the same directory where the file was just saved (assuming, as in the general case, that I remember exactly where that is.)
Does such a list exist? If so, how is it accessed?

I have not found that feature in Outlook. However, I have used two things to help me manage attachments: enable a search for emails with attachments (easiest way), or use Sperry Software's Attachments Save Pro (most flexible, but costs $99).

When you directly open an attachment from within Outlook, the attachment is copied to and opened from a Temp folder. So you can find all opened attachments in Temp folder. The folder location is stored in the registry in the following key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\X.0\Outlook\Security. Open the OutlookSecureTempFolder registry key and copy the path from the key – Aidan – 2020-01-07T06:15:00.457
