The top-level folder is called “Content.Outlook” and then has a subfolder which is named with with 8 random numbers and letters. The subfolder name Outlook creates (after opening the first attachment) is located with the Temporary Internet Files folder and contains a random element. Unfortunately this is easier said than done. When you open an attachment directly from within Outlook it will first save a copy to a subfolder of the Temporary Internet Files folder.Ĭleaning out the folder will solve the issue. In most cases the permissions on the folder isn’t the issue but the fact that the folder is “full”. Tweaked the size display of the folder to report in KB instead of as 0MB when the folder is less then 1MB in size.When opening an attachment directly from within Outlook you could get an error message saying that it can’t create the file and to that you need check the permissions on the folder you want to save it in.Fixed a bug where a message box could pop-up when using OutlookTempCleaner in silent mode (via a logon script for example) and no version of Outlook is installed on that system.Outlook 2010 is now properly recognized (1.0 contained only preliminary support for Outlook 2010).The -clearfolder switch is still supported to not break any existing scripts you may have.Īdded support for Outlook 2010, fixed a bug and did some fine-tuning Added -emptyfolder command line switch to reflect the renaming of the button.
Renamed the “Clear Folder” button to “Empty Folder”.

Commercial companies and users of the command line options available in OutlookTempCleaner are highly encouraged to make a donation to continue to keep it free and support future development. There is no need to supply the installation path to the file. OutlookTempCleaner can be executed directly from the Run command as well by typing outlooktempcleaner This way you can easily keep track of its size and empty it when you think it is getting too big. With the -foldersize startup switch you can create a scheduled task (for instance run once per week) to inform you of the current size of the folder. The result is that you can deploy a standardized shortcut and allow users easy access to the folder. With OutlookTempCleaner you can create a shortcut with the -openfolder startup switch to directly open the OutlookSecureTemp folder. You can basically set it and forget it and not worry about leaving sensitive files, your hard disk filling up or suddenly running into errors when you often deal with attachments with the same name.Īs the OutlookSecureTemp folder location is different for each user there is no way to deploy a single shortcut.
This is particularly handy for shared domain computers. If you want to automatically empty the folder via a logon or logoff script or task, you can use the -emptyfolder switch.
