Hello.

I have Outlook Express 5. Whenever I get attachments and
I double-click on them, I would like the program to ask
me if I would like to Open or Save it. I somehow clicked
on Don't ever ask me again. So now any Word documents I
get and I double-click on them it automatically opens
it. How can I tell Outlook Express to pop up the
Attachment Warning (Open it or Save it)dialog box for
Word Documents as well?

Yes I know that you can right-click, but this is for my
boss you is used to double-clicking on attachments and
having the option given to her.

So any ideas where I can reset that Word documents should
also be checked before opening?

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

If Windows XP O.S., Open Windows Explorer, click Tools,
Folder Options, File Types, find and select the extension
of the file you want to "confirm open after download",
click Advanced and check the box next to "confirm open
oafter download".

Didn't read your full post, so hope this is what your
looking for.
