[QUOTE="chscag, post: 747835, member: 46727"] If you change the location of that folder or remove it each time, you're going to wind up having to reinstall Office 2008. The User Data folder not only contains the Auto Recovery folder but also has all your identity information. And as the previous post pointed out, it contains the email data base for Entourage. The User Data folder is updated each time you open an Office 2008 application, it just appears as if a new folder is being created. I recommend leaving that folder alone and learn to live with it. There are a myriad of folders throughout a Unix file system which may seem as if they're "cluttered" but most are not visible. It just so happens that the Microsoft User Data Folder gets stored in the documents folder and is visible. Regards. [/QUOTE]
