Default Outlook Express Attachment Opening Problem

Every attachment sent to Outlook Express tries to open with Windows Media
Player, whether it's .eml or any other. Problem started when I received an
mp3 attachment, was prompted " how would you like to open this attacment?".
Chose Windows Media Player option, now EVERY attachment is sent there, and
of course a "Windows Media Player cannot open this type of file" message. My
question is, how do I restore default settings in Outlook Express ?, or just
plain undo what I did ? Thanks, Jim

Default Outlook Express Attachment Opening Problem

Have you tried asking in an Outlook Express newsgroup? Outlook and Outlook
Express are different programs.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...ress.ge neral
Good luck!
