Outlook Express locks all attachments as being a security danger

[Guest]

I use OE since over ten years and was always happy with it. It is a simple
and practical tool. Some months ago I deinstalled XP professional and loaded
Winmdows 2000 professional. All worked fine, I made all available upgrades,
all worked fine... but since the last security upgrade in December 06 Or
January 07 - it was some automatic thingy - Outlook Express hides all the
attachments of all the emails. I cannot open nor store them anymore... In the
beginning it said that it does not enable their opening because they are a
security thread...(viri) but there was none in reality... I found a
workaround (trick) to open them anyway but I would prefere to see them again
unveiled in the normal way and to be allowed to open them... What can I do...?

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!...
