When I try to open ANY attachment (PDF, DOC and others) by double-clicking
on it I receive the following error: "Access is Denied." If I right click
and save as and save it somehwere like my desktop, then go to the desktop it
opens.

Never seen this one yet...

Any suggestions?

Clear your Outlook Secure Temp Folder and see if that helps.

OK, then, use the information on the web page whose link I sent and move the
Outlook Secure Temp Folder to some other place, like My Documents\Secure
Temp and see if that helps.
