When I try using the batch file I get the following message:
2 was unexpected at this time.
Any tips?

Please ignore my earlier post, I just found the problem. The user has multiple OLK folders. I only found this by doing Start, Run, %temp% then going to View, Explorer Bar, Folders.

I was able to look at the users temporary internet files from there and found a separate OLK folder which was full! Obviously this OLK didn’t show up in the user’s registry.

Problem solved.

I have a user with this problem but when we cleared the OLK files and rebooted she’s still getting the error message “Can’t create file…”.

Thoughts?

@Jon - Welcome to the site!

Hi Jon, did you try to just cut and paste the location found in the registry into the RUN command box? Click Start Button, Run, Paste in OLK location found in the registry. What happens? Does it open or?

You running Vista or XP?

Inferno999,
This is awesome. However, the short version does not work for Office 2003 (and likely for older) due to hardcoded “12.0″ in the reg query.

My users often have the problem with many AS/400 reports that are distributed daily as attachements with same name.
Thanks.
