Default type of file to automatically open security feature


OL 2002 SP3
Win XP HE

Hi,
I seem to have accidentally clicked on "Open Automatically" for Word
(.doc) files sent as attachments.

I'd like to set it back so that it always asks whether I really want to
open it or not.

How do I recover the feature for Word (.doc) files?
Thanks.

Control PanelFolder OptionsFile Types. Locate the "DOC" filt type, select
it, click Advanced, and check the box labeled "Confirm open after download".
Click OK, then OK. Close Control Panel.

Brian,
Thanks a lot for the tip. It works perfectly; didn't occur to me to
look there.
