OE removed access to unsafe documents

L

Laurie Hebditch

Starting today I am no longer able to open email attachments. I get a
message across the top of the email when I try to click on the attachment
that says :
"OE has removed access to the following unsafe documents: xxxx.doc"

This past Saturday I downloaded the following update for windows XP:
Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1 (KB837009)

Do you suppose there is a connection here? Any help is appreciated.

Tools-> Options-> tab Security-> option Do not allow attachments...

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!
