Hey guys!
Well, I solved the same problem, but mine was different, outllok not open. Htm files, just running Ccleaner software or other cleaning useless files created by the system, garbage, any other cleaner would also serve as the problem is related to the folder that stores temporary files, and she filled it was not for anything else.
Thanks all!

I’ve had this problem on our network and solved it by right clicking on the user folder ie c:/users/Jon Doe , Left click on properties, and uncheck the “read only” box, apply to all sub folders. Solved the issue on our network.

My problem was different in that it said to check for permissions. when I did that it said I had read only rights to the disk. all-so there was no OLKEnnn directory off of the temporaryInternetFiles in the that direcory like the hkey stated. Changing permissions fixed the problem.

Issue happened at a client’s this morning. Came across this post in a few minutes…

Worked like a charm.

Tried this solution because it totally made sense to what was in the post – the user couldn’t open Scanned documents from their MFP – likely because it kept creating “Document(1).pdf, Document(2).pdf, Document(3).pdf”

Protip – make sure you run RegEdt32 under the actual user’s profile

Thanks for the Outlook Cleanup Tool! Very handy for limited users w/o registry access. If you ever do any updates to it, it would be extremely helpful to also include a “browse” button to open the folder in Explorer — I often get the request where someone “lost” an attachment because they edited it in Outlook, then deleted the email, and the file can often still be found in this folder.

Thank you for your clear explanation and solution. My employer doesn’t allow us to download your fix, but at least I know what the issue is. I also can’t hit the temp file from “My Computer” (much less run regedit), but I opened another file and did Save As to find the folder, and spent about 20 minutes deleting the temp files one by one. Crude, but it got the job done. Thanks again! This error was making me crazy!!
