Outlook Express Attachment Opening Problem

[Jim Risley]

Every attachment sent to Outlook Express tries to open with Windows Media
Player, whether it's .eml or any other. Problem started when I received an
mp3 attachment, was prompted " how would you like to open this attacment?".
Chose Windows Media Player option, now EVERY attachment is sent there, and
of course a "Windows Media Player cannot open this type of file" message. My
question is, how do I restore default settings in Outlook Express ?, or just
plain undo what I did ? Thanks, Jim

Have you tried asking in an Outlook Express newsgroup? Outlook and Outlook
Express are different programs.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook

Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.
