Hi
Could you pl let me know how to change the ost file location of 2013 outlook. Currently its on default folder and when i try to cut and paste that file to some other location. It creates a new ost file on a same location and start to download all the mail start from beginning .
I am using imap for better synchronise…..plz help

Thanks, that worked like a charm. If you do not want to mess about registry just copy this text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice16.0OutlookOptions]
"DefaultPath"="Drive_Letter:\Your_prefferedFolder\"

Replace the Drive_letter with your desired, do same with Your_prefferedFolder. Then save as temp.reg, then just double click on it and say OK on popup window. Restart your outlook and be happy of a default folder location for your attachements.

Have fun !

Great video but what if I just wanted to have saved attachments dropped to my Desktop there would be no need to create a new folder correct… just point file path to the Desktop?

Thanks ! It's been driving me crazy !

Hey Bernard. Thanks for sharing/teaching. Is there a similar way to ask for outlook templates to be opened from another default folder as well. So my collegues and I can access SAME outlook templates *.oft files. Br and thx Eva, Denmark

This worked for Outlook 2016 as well. Thanks!

Great work, Bernard. Works for me and very happy. Been bugging me for a while. Thank you.

Slick! This hack works with Office/outlook 2007 also. The trick is to close and re-open outlook after creating the registry key..
Thanks, BTNHD

This works for the more current versions as well. Put the value in the 16.0 key under "Options" and presto!

You rock. I have been trying to figure this out, on and off, for a long time. This worked like a charm and I NEVER would have figured this out on my own. Shame on Microsoft and Cheers to you!

Hey Bernard, just wanted to say "THANKS" for this video. It worked like a champ on my Gateway laptop with Office 2013, and I just got a new 'puter with Office 2016 on it, and it still works there, too! Great to be able to direct those saved attachments where I want them to go! Thanks again!!

so, what if save-location is in Drive D? and 1 more, how to save attachment automatically in that new save-location? because I want to avoid drive C because it make my outlook slow when I get big-file-size attachment. Thank

You have just saved me 100s of me-hours/year.

good info. got really excited. but still not working with these damn PDF files I am saving from outlook.

This worked when saving the attachment document from the open email.  However, when I receive a .pdf Outlook attachment and I open the attachment, read, and then do Save As, it defaults to an obscure folder.  How can I change this?

Great stuff! Thank you so much for this!
Do you know also how to change Word and Excel Default Save Locations?
