Recently I've had many users report to me with errors when opening attachments in Outlook 2010. The issue is because the temp folder assigned for Outlook attachments is getting too full and won't allow anymore to be saved to the temp folder. The easy solution is to open up the folder and delete everything inside of it, but I am finding that I have to do this constantly for people who receive up to 50 attachments per day.
So my question is:
Does anyone know of a way to automatically clear this out or to increase the allowable size?
Registry key for Outlook storage folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
I have tried pointing it to a different location, such as C:\temp0\ and changing the registry key to reflect that, but it still has a limit on it. I have looked through Outlook 2010 settings and have not found anything. When I google or search on this forum I can only find band-aid fixes, which I'm trying to avoid.
I have the ability to write a quick script to clear these folders out every so often, but I would like to avoid that if possible.
Which "Band-aid fixes" did you find exactly? Outlook doesn't impose any limit on that (AFAIK), are you sure they're not just running out of disk space on C:? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2013-09-30T20:32:21.417
I have manually deleted the files inside the folder, and I have tried switching the temp folder to another location with full permissions. All users with this issue have plenty of space on the hard drive. – Callen L – 2013-09-30T20:47:38.720
