Hi, whenever I get an email with an email attachment, I can't open the
attachment. I know it has something to do with the folder options in the
control panel but I could use a little more help. also the following article
didn't help. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312342/en-us

Do you get an error message similar as what is in the KB article, or is the
paper clip grayed out?

If the former, save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and choose
Open With. Find an appropriate program and check the box: "Always use this
program to open this kind of file".

If the paper clip is grayed out:

ToolsOptionsSecurity. Uncheck: "Do not allow attachments................."

Choose the program as I outlined. Save the attachment to your HDD. Right
click on it and choose Open With. Find an appropriate program and check the
box: "Always use this program to open this kind of file".
