The default directory that file attachments are loaded from and message
attachments are saved to is set by the start up directory property set on
the Microsoft Exchange icon.
MORE INFORMATION
This can be modified by following the steps listed below for each client.

If Microsoft Exchange is being started from the desktop, then a Short Cut
must be created to modify the Startup directory. The file properties can
not be modified on the Inbox icon.
To create the short cut, right click the Desktop, and choose Shortcut from
the New menu item. Create a shortcut to Exhcng32.exe and set the shortcut
property for Start In directory to the desired location; for example,
C:\TEMP.

With the Microsoft Exchange icon selected in Program Manager, click
Properties on the File menu. Set the Working Directory to the desired
location; for example, C:\TEMP.
