disappeared dialog box
 

Dear Officer,

When I open an attachment (e.g. *.torrent) in OE6, usually a dialog box
opens asking me if I want to save or open the attachment. At the bottom of
the dialog box, there is a field asking me whether I would always like the
dialog box to be shown.

Unfortunately, I accidentally uncheck the field. As a consequence, the
dialog disappears forever.

How can I make the dialog box re-appears again?

THANKS !!!

Go to: StartRunRegeditEnter and follow this path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Don't Show Dialogs.

In the right pane you should see a reference to this prompt. You can right
click on it and then Delete and the prompt will be back.

You need to go into the File Associations for specific file type and
check the Confirm After Download settings. Each file type as it's own
setting for that option.
