incoming microsoft outlook email

I had to have my corporate office reinstall Microsoft Outllook on my laptop
and now when I receive incoming email with attachments ie;
(http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSTRE54639Q20090507) I can no
longer click to open them without winzip wanting to install. How can I stop
this and go back to whatever settings were there in the first place

Sounds like you have a WinZip add-in reference in Outlook. Check that.
Exactly how is version-specific and since you decided to keep your version a
secret, I can't be more specific.

I don't even know where to go to check this. What are the specifics you're
looking for?

Well the version of Outlook would be a good start, as Brian asked.

Take a look at the Add/Remove Programs applet. Is Winzip (or another
zip utility) listed there? If so, its install probably also installed
an add-on for Outlook; however, you just had Outlook re-installed so the
add-ons may no longer be enabled for Outlook. Go into Outlook's config
to see if the add-on is listed but disabled; if so, enable it.
Otherwise, go into the zip utility and see if it has a config option to
remove and add the add-on to Outlook; if so, disable the add-on and then
re-enable it, and test if it then is enabled in Outlook.

The prompt you mention would only happen if the attachment were a .zip
file (or other recognized archive filetype). Yet the example you show
of an attachment is a URL filetype and that doesn't involve archiving
filetypes.
