Every time I get a attachment in my email and I click on the attachment
it comes up with would you like open or save this file and right below
that is Always ask before opening this file type but it is grayed out
so I can't uncheck it so it will just download it. Any suggestions on
how to get that back so I can uncheck it? I am using Outlook 2007 and
Windows Vista. I know in xp you could just go to file type and uncheck
it from there but vista does not have that option in folder options.
Please help been pulling my hair out for weeks lol thanks for your time

So I just wasted a couple hours of my life with Outlook 2007 again.
(system: Vista business, running Outlook 2007)

The solution I have discovered so far is to open Outlook as the
Administrator: (Right click+Shift key) Outlook icon, "Run As
Administrator".

For each of the file types you do NOT want to be prompted with the
"Opening Mail Attachment" box and the grayed out/disabled "always ask
before opening this type of file" message, you must try to OPEN the
file. You will now be able to clear that annoying little box! Users
won't be prompted anymore before opening a file of that type.

Presto!
