If I understand your question correctly, what you're looking
for cannot be done. The attachments are kept within the PST
file until you open, or save them, within Outlook. If you
open them, they're placed in a temporary location, and if you
save them (File->Save Attachments, for example), they're
saved where you direct.
Thanks for asking!
