email address popup

Is it possible to get rid of the email addresses popup when I create a new
email message. I don't want to have to reply yes each time I create an email.

What does this popup message say, exactly?

Sorry for not including everything - first time using this method.

I'm using Outlook 2002 with SP3. I'm running Windows XP SP2, each time I
try to create a new email message I get this popup saying someone is trying
to access your email addresses. The popup gives me three buttons - yes; no;
help - from which to select. There is also a checkbox to limit the amount of
time to allow access if so desired - up to 10 minutes.

I understand that there's some security that Microsoft has put in for
viruses, but if I'm the one creating the email why do I get this popup?

Thanks,

Sounds like you have Outlook configured to use Word to compose your
e-mails. What happens if you configure Outlook to use its embedded
compose editor (i.e., do NOT select to use Word as your e-mail editor)?

That took care of the popups. Guess I don't really have a need to be using
Word for my emails!

Thanks!!!!

Hmm, sounds like you have Outlook configured to use Word as your e-mail
compose editor. What happens if you change Outlook's configuration to
use its own embedded compose editor? If you use Word then, yes, you ARE
using another program to access your contact info (so you can select
them in the email.dot template that Word loads to compose e-mail).

The usual culprit for this is Adobe Acrobat's PDFMaker add-in. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm (toward the bottom) for a
method of disabling it, if you wish to continue using Word as your mail
editor.

Thank you, but I could not figure out how to disable Adobe Acrobat's PDFMaker
add-in, even using the website link. I finally downloaded ClickYes to fix
it. Can you provide further instructions to a novice like me? Thanks.

I think the instructions on the web site are quite explicit. What don't you
understand?

 

[fbopp]

Well, for starters, I can't locate
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook
to allow me to even attempt to change the LoadBehavior value from 3 to 2.
Any extra help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How are you trying to "locate" it? It's a registry key, so naturally, you
need to use regedit to see it.

 

[fbopp]

OK. That explains it. I was using "find a file/folder." Thank you for
helping me along. I think the answer is I don't feel comfortable making
changes to my registry. Any other ideas? If not, I guess I'll get by with
ClickYes. Thanks again.

So why don't you enlighten the rest of us as to how to use regedit to see the
file and edit it?

Thanks!

Well, it's not a file. The registry editor doesn't edit files, per se.

Click Start>Run and enter "regedit" (without the quotes) in the Open field.
Click OK. Look in the left-hand pane and find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Click
the "+" next to it. In the ensuing list, locate "Software" and click the
"+" next to it, and so on until you see the entire key. When you find the
entire key, select it in the left-hand pane and you'll see some values in
the right-hand pane, one of which should include :LoadBehavior".
Double-click it to edit it.

Thanks Brian, that path got me where I needed to be! Take it easy!
