Unless you explicitly delete files (by pressing Shift+Delete) or tell
Windows to skip it, they go to the Recycle Bin. Deleted emails go to the
Delete Items folder unless you press Shift while deleting. The folder you
describe may be something created by a document management application.

Options? That will be the default save folder for *new* documents. The
default folder for existing documents, however (when you use Save As),
is
the folder where the open document is stored. If you have opened a
document
from an email attachment, this will be a temp folder; if you save the
document there, it will be deleted when you close Word, so you *must*
navigate to My Documents or some other folder. If you open a file from a
removable disk (which you shouldn't do), then Word will default to
saving
there.

the defaul (active) folder is "my documents" however, when I go to
save
as,
the automatic folder that comes up is a folder I never created and is
listed
as a"briefcase" type. I am also then not able to always find this
folder
unless I go to "my recent documents" when I go to open. can someone
explain
what this folder is, because other things are in here and I don't know
if
I
can delete the entire folder
