it's a security feature.

Are you using the feature to view in the reading pane? That negates the
problem for most people.

Windows Vista Ultimate, Outlook 2007, no Google desktop installed

The following issue: When trying to open or save an attachment (word,
excel, powerpoint), you get a dialogue box asking whether you want to
save/open the file. In the last line, there is a checkbox "Ask always
before opening this file type". This checkbox is gray, and cannot be
unchecked (view he
http://www.poetzsch-consulting.de/test/Nachfrage.jpg). Strange enough,
this issue ocurrs with all attachments, except pdfs. For pdfs, for
instance, the box can be unchecked.

How the box can be made accessable? Any clue?
Thanks
