Script to view Outlook OLK folder

I am trying to use a script to open the Outlook OLK folder.

The below will get close but it is not the correct folder. I still
have to navigate to the real folder. Is there any way to switch
folders of the explorer instance opened below to the correct folder?
I know the folder, I just want to know how to switch folders with the
existing explorer window.

objShell.run ("%temp% /e")

The above command allows you to view very hidden folders. From what I
can figure out you can not directly open the OLK??? folder with a
script. When I directly open the folder in the scrip it is blank.

Re: Script to view Outlook OLK folder

Look here on how to find out the location of the OLK folder:

http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm

Depending on your version of Office, the key to look at, or retrieve the
value from via script, is:

(For Office 2007)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security
and the sub-key is called: OutlookSecureTempFolder


Hope that helps.

Joseph,

Thanks for the info, however it still does not help. When I use the
folder location and open Explorer with that folder it is blank. I can
manually do it however not with the script. That is why I was
opening it with the %temp% keyword. I had seen the website you
mentioned before and it will help if it is possible to change folders
or a way to see the "very hidden" folders with a script. Can anyone
confirm it can not be done?
