Ive unchecked "always ask before opening this type of file" when opening word
attachments from Outlook. How do I re-activate this function, please?

Thanks

This is a Windows setting. The instructions for Windows XP are:

Start>All Programs>Control Panel>Appearance and Themes>Folder Options>File
Types. Select the DOC file type. Click Advanced. Check the box toward the
bottom labeled "Confirm open after download". Click OK, then OK. Close
Control Panel.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, running Office 2007 Ultimate and Vista
Ultimate. I've unchecked the always ask box for a specific file type, and
can't get it back. Vista has removed the file types menu.

Can someone please give me some help?

Some thing in Vista Ultimate. Use Control Panel to find the Folder Opttions
applet.

That option is not available in Folder OPtions in Vista. FYI.

It is on my Vista PC. You're not looking in the correct place, apparently.
