MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / December 2007Email Attachment Confirmation Window
I accidently selected the checkbox to "not ask me again" when I opened an attachment using my Outlook 2007. Now every time I double click an attachment, it opens right away. I don't want this to happen. How can I bring back the confirmation box that asks if you want to open, save or cancel? AFAIK, you have to edit the registry. In outlook 2007 RTM, the editflags binary value is the key - this example is for GIF extension. In outlook 2007 SP1, the EditFlags value does not exist but creating it with 00 00 01 00 data gets rid of the dialog and opens the message. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\giffile\EditFlags binary data of 00 00 00 00 = always ask (on my SP1 the checkbox to never ask is grayed out) 00 00 01 00 = always open, no dialog Word 2007 DOCX extension is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.12 Adobe PDF HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AcroExch.Document  SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM > I accidently selected the checkbox to "not ask me again" when I opened > an attachment using my Outlook 2007.

There is a way to get this back in Windows XP. Check the "confirm open after download" option in Windows Explorer, Tools, File Types, Advanced. Might also be someplace in Vista, but I haven't found it. > I accidently selected the checkbox to "not ask me again" when I opened > an attachment using my Outlook 2007.

I found this in OL 2007 online help: "If you have already turned these warnings off, and you want to turn them back on again, do the following: 1. On the Tools menu, click Trust Center, and then click Automatic Download. 2. Select the Warn me before downloading content when editing, forwarding, or replying to e-mail check box." > I accidently selected the checkbox to "not ask me again" when I opened > an attachment using my Outlook 2007.
