How do i open photo attachments without saving them first

[Guest]

Is it now manditory to save photo attachments which arrive on Outlook emails?
Previously by clicking on open they would open to be viewed - now one is sent
to Microsoft Office Picture Manager where every box has a red cross in the
centre and there are 334 boxes the same but not the photo I want to see. Is
there a problem with the installation or do I need to do something in the
setup. I believe this feature came with an update and no instructions. Thank
you team

No it's not mandatory. You are looking at a (full) cache folder which you
should clear. You can find the location in the registry by looking up the
following key;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security

Copy/paste that in the address bar in Explorer to navigate to it.
