Attachments in Outlook 2003

[Rajiv Sharma]

Hello Everybody:

I have Office 2003 Standard Edition on XP Professional.

When I try to open an attachment (.doc, .xls or .ppt) other than those in
the "unsafe" or the Level 2 lists(Microsoft Knowledge Base Article -
829982 ) , I prompted to either open the file directly or to save it to a
disk. When I prompted, I have the option to turn off future prompts for that
file name extension if you click to clear the Always ask before opening this
type of file check box.

I uncheck the box but when next time i try to open attachment again, its
still prompting me for the OPEN, SAVE and CANCEL option.
I also uncheck both options under Security Option->Automatic Picture
download settings:

Any help !!!

Rajiv

You can only make this change when you are loggid in as an adminstrator. For
some reason the option doesn't get disabled when doing this as an user.
