But after looking at the main folder which I view the file.Ĥ. Because I don’t know how it will going to create a temp file inside the windows app data folder. I fought with this for about four hours, went through about 15 pages of Google search, and tried about a dozen different “fixes” including various registry edits that didn’t fix it for me before I found this.įirst of all, I was confused with this explanation. Log back in, and problem should be resolved.įixed the “work file” error and every other Office error I had going on when I changed that. It will force you to log off (this is normal). If it’s not, click Move Folder and change it to that. On Windows Vista/7, this SHOULD be c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files. Under the General Tab, browsing history section, click Settings. Fixed it by moving the temporary internet files folder in Internet Explorer. Would randomly get the “could not create the work file” error in every Office 2010 application and had various other problems with it as well (for example, couldn’t insert images into Word documents or see any images in Outlook emails). Here’s another fix, or at least the one that worked for me.
