Cannot open some e-mail attachments.
Something to the fact that I need to refer to file folder options.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You

It sounds like you need to create a file association for some types of
files. Since you don't specify what the file extension is, all I can do is
refer you to Mike Santovec's website:

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