2). Press on the template you want and drag it towards the Outlook icon on your taskbar to pin the template.
3). If you need the template later, you just need to simply right click on the Outlook icon on the taskbar. And there it is.
Tip 2: You can also create a shortcut on the desktop to access your templates easier.
1). Go to "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates" and the email templates will be shown.

Note 1: The folder like "Appdata" is important system files which will be hidden by default, but it will be seen when you perform the Outlook setup. So, to prevent unintentionally deleted it, please remember to hide the folders after the operation.
Take Windows 8.x or Windows 10 for example, go to "Options".
