Automatically open jpg or gif attachments in Outlook XP

[Guest]

Help! I'm using Office XP and used to be able to double-click to open a JPG
attachment in a message. Now, it comes up with a Security Warning message
asking me if I want to open the file.

I recall, many moons ago, that there used to be a dialog box with a check
mark to enable or disable that function. Any ideas as to what registry
setting it might be to reset that part of Outlook to allow me to double-click
and open a JPG or GIF attachment?

Thank you in Advance! Jim
