[QUOTE="RNDdave, post: 369207, member: 20405"] Ah right - yes I've noticed that as well (just mine goes into my downloads folder) - not sure how to stop it. However it should be pointed out that Windows also downloads the attachment - it's just with Windows there is at least one temp directory and any attachments or (PDFs on web pages for that matter) go into that directory - the idea is that this temp area should be cleared automatically for you usually at each boot up - however this is rarely the case and is usually cleaned up when you run the disc clean up wizzard or whatever it's called. (However with todays big hard drives few people use the disc cleaner as they rarely get the message about running out of space). Perhaps the best thing to do would be to setup a downloads folder in your user area (like me) and set this as the default location for any attachments - that way you can just stop by every now and then and remove what you don't want - not really a good answer - but will keep things out of sight (out of mind) until you want to look for something or fancy some 'spring cleaning'. Sorry I can't help - if you do find a better answer - please share ;) [/QUOTE]
