office xp and 2003 can't open attachment

Dear Gentlemen,

we have quite a restrictive group policy across our domain, which served
us fine until some users started reporting they were unable to open picture
attachments in Office. Disabling the "run only allowed..." restriction on
the computers concerned, the attachments open fine (with the default windows
picture and fax viewer).

The weirdest thing is that even with our "run only..." restriction applied,
every picture on the local file system opens OK (normally with the default
picture and fax viewer). The ones saved from the attachments too.

I FileMon'd the computers but it didn't show any file-activity during
attachment-opening besides the normal windows stuff (rundll32.exe,
csrss.exe, lsass.exe, office.exe, explorer.exe and others) which are of
course allowed to run.

Do you have any idea of a solution?

The problem applies to Office 2003 and Office XP.

Thank you in advance,
-Robert

if you move the securetemp folder to a location outside of temp internet
files, does it work with the group policy?
