Until yesterday I have had no problem opening photo attachments in "Outlook
Express." Now when I attempt to open them a notice tells me to "Create An
Association In The Folder Options Control Panel." This is only happening with
"Outlook Express." If I forward the same email to an alternate email address
all works fine.

Can someone please help me with this?

Thank You, Jack

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With. Find and
choose a program that works and then check the box: Always use this program
to open this kind of file.

See the Identifying Attachment File Types and Setting File Associations
section of
Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial

Are you using a different program for opening that photos? Did you
recently install a new photo display or editing program?

If you can save the photo from OE and then double click the saved file
to open OK, then the issue is that the file association is missing the
OPEN action that OE requires. You find out more about that in the above
link.
