It comes up with a error in outlook that says

Can't creat file: (file name). Right click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check you permissions for the folder.

It does this with every attachment. Any idea how I can fix this?

If so, re-create it, or go into the options and specify a new location.
I think the options are found in Word.

If you delete the temp folder itself, Office may not have any idea where to create the 'temp' or 'editable' version of a file.

But that is just a guess, I havent looked into it at all.

However, I do remember some time ago that someone blew away the temp folder, and then had problems with word. If memory serves me correctly that is.

You can always open them with "Notepad", select the attachment and then "save as" give it a name and put it on your desktop, right click then highlight it and then select "open with" scroll down until you see "notepad". You can open (nearly)anything with notepad, just remember that.
Please post back if you have anymore problems or questions.
