Outlook Express Attachments

[Babs]

With some attachments I get the message"This file does not have a program
associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the
Folder Options Panel." I have gone to Folder Options and don't know what to
do. Can someone help me?

What is the file extension for the attachments. (i.e. .wma,.pps, etc.).

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always
use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open
these attachments in the future.
