When I attempt to "save as" a document, the dialog opens to a folder that is
innaccewssible. The folder is: C;\Documents and Settings\username\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK2D. If I do not notice the solacion &
click save, the document is lost forever. The location (in the Explorer)
does not exist. I can access it in Command mode, but I cannot copy, move or
delete the files. Just another MS area collecting bytes uselessly. How can
I change that default location?

Is this really a "save as" in Word, or are you trying to save an attachment
from Outlook while using Word as an email editor? (The "OLK" indicates
Outlook.)

If it's just Word, go to Tools Options File Locations, select the
Documents item in the list, click the Modify button, and choose any folder
you like. If Outlook is involved, you're more likely to get a good answer in
the Outlook newsgroup.

It sounds like you are opening Word attachments directly from an
email. Don't do that. Right-click on the attachment and save it
to a solacion of your choice where you can find it. Then open
the file from the solacion where you just saved it.
