Can't open attachments
Greetings,
My desk top PC has lost the ability to open Outlook Express attachments. In “Tools-Options-Security”, the two boxes that block attachments are unchecked. I get an error message reading, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folders option control panel.” When I go to the “Open With” window, I find that the "Outlook Express" option is missing. How do I install the Outlook Express option back into the Open With window? Joe |
Can't open attachments
After you clicked Open With, did you click Choose Program at the bottom?

I spoke too soon. Is this for all attachments, or some?
Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open these attachments in the future. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

Joe,
What is the file extension? Let me give you an example. If I right click on a thumbnail in My Pictures | Open With, OE is not listed because it can't open the program, a jpg or gif. But if I right click on an eml file, such as a e-mail template I have saved, then when I Choose Program, OE is listed. I think you're trying to open a file that is not meant to be opened with OE, but another program. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Joe Bagadonuts" wrote in message ...

I have to go for a few hours, Joe. If you find that this is an eml file
attachment, then see this.
