Outlook 2000 attachments

[fun4us]

When I recieve a message with an attachment, outlook used
to prompt me to save it or to open it. Now it opens it
automaticly when you click on it. Is there a way to put
it back(get prompt)?

This is Outlook with the Microsoft Office SP 3 which provides
a registry setting to unblock certain attachment file types.

It sounds like at some point you or someone on your machine
edited your level settings to allow you to open certain file types.

Try reading up on this at Sue Mosher's Slipstick site (link below)
I think you could use one of the tools or edit the registry yourself
to place the attachment types into a more desirable level setting:
