Error when open attachment of .doc, .xls, .ppt in WM message

[Guest]

Have you found a solution to this yet? I get the following error message when
trying to open word documents in the file *.doc. I can save the file and open
it, but not directly. I get the following error: This file does not have a
program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association
win the Set Association Control Panel." I have already set the association
for doc files. Still doesn't work in Windows Mail. Works in other mail
programs. Have you figured this one out yet?

I had the same problem.
To add an association go to:
- Start
- All Programs
- Default Programs
- Click in " Associate a file type or protocol with a program"
- Double Click in the extension you want to add i.e. ".ppt"
- Open Browse to add the program (in this case powerpoint)
