can't create the file and to that you need check the permissions on the folder you want to save it in.In most cases the permissions on https://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm the folder isn't the issue but the fact that the http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/outlook/fix-outlook-cant-create-file-attachment-error/ folder is "full". When you open an attachment directly from within Outlook it will first save a copy to a subfolder of the Temporary Internet Files folder.Cleaning out the folder will solve the issue.Outlook Secure Temp folderUnfortunately this is easier said than done. cannot create The subfolder name Outlook creates (on installation of Outlook) in the Temporary Internet Files folder is quite random.In Outlook 2003 and previous, the name starts with OLK and is followed by up to 4 random numbers or letters. In Outlook 2007 and later, this folder is called Content. Outlook and then has a subfolder cannot create file which is named with with 8 random numbers and letters.In addition, by default, you cannot simply browse to the folder to clean it out. Getting to the Temporary Outlook Folder can still be accomplished in 2 easy steps though.Step 1: Locate the folderThe folder location is stored in the registry in the following key;Outlook 97HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Outlook\SecurityOutlook 98HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.5\Outlook\SecurityOutlook 2000HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\SecurityOutlook 2002/XPHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\SecurityOutlook 2003HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\SecurityOutlook 2007HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\SecurityOutlook 2010HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\SecurityOutlook 2013HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\SecurityOutlook 2016HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\SecurityStep 2: Get to the folderOpen the OutlookSecureTempFolder registry key from the location provided in Step 1.Copy the path from the key.Open Explorer.Paste the address in the Address Bar and press Enter.Paste the found path in the address bar of File Explorer to easily get to the folder.Use OutlookTools or OutlookTempCleanerStill not easy enough or just don't want to go in the Registry to find the folder location? I’ve created two free tools which can do the trick as well.OutlookTools offers besides locating, opening and cleaning up the SecureTempFolder also quite a lot of additional features to troubles
Tools & Services We Recommend Subscribe Search Return to Content Fix Microsoft Outlook Cant Create File Attachment Issue Steve Krause | October 14, 2007 in groovyFixes, Outlook Recently while using Microsoft Outlook, I ran into a strange problem while trying to open an attachment that was inside an email. Each time I tried to open the attachment from the email I would get the error message: "Can't create file: groovypost.doc.
