Windows XP & Outlook Express

[Peter Willis]

(i) Windows XP Professional
When I try to "Save as" Windows hangs for some time
before bringing up the options.
When I open Explorer it hangs - only showng C Drive and
some time later the rest of the menu appears

(2) Outlook Express

Outlook Express is deleting attachements that it
considers to be unsafe. The attachment appears as a paper
clip and shows the Word symbol but will not open.

Any help would be appreciated

Response to Question 2
Outlook Express allows you to block attachments that it judges to be
of a dangerous file type. To do this

1. Select Tools | Options from the menu bar. The Options dialog
box opens.

2. Click the Security tab.

3. Check the Do Not Allow Attachments To Be Saved Or Opened That
Could Potentially Be A Virus check box.

4. Click OK.

To unblock all attachments, repeat these steps but uncheck the box in
step 3.

When the Do Not Allow Attachments To Be Saved Or Opened That Could
Potentially Be A Virus box is checked, the paper clip icon still
appears to tell you when a message has attachments. Clicking the icon
reveals a list of attachments, but any attachments that are blocked
appear dimmed, so that they cannot be selected. If you decide that
you want to open or save these attachments, go back to the Security
tab of the Options dialog box and uncheck the Do Not Allow
Attachments To Be Saved Or Opened That Could Potentially Be A Virus
box. You can then open or save attachments normally.
