Opening attachments

In Windows 2000 when opening an attachment you are prompted with the choice
of Opening or Saving the document. In XP Professional I am only receiving
the Save prompt. Where can i change the setting to allow the Open feature to
appear?

Opening is the same as Saving.
When you Save a file,you choose where exactly to save it
(e.g. in My Documents)
When you choose to pen a file,Windows copies the file in a temporary folder
and then opens it

We do not want to Save the document; we simply want to open it. In XP, only
Save or Cancel appears. No Open is available. Am I missing something here?

To view a file attachment

In the preview pane, click the paper clip icon in the message header, and
then click the file name.

-or-

At the top of the message window, double-click the file attachment icon in
the message header.

When the Open Attachment Warning pops up, select Open it and click OK.

Notes
To save a file attachment, on the File menu, point to Save Attachments, and
then click the file name. To save the attachment from the preview pane,
click the paper clip icon, and then select Save Attachments.

When a message has a file attached to it, a paper clip icon is displayed
next to it in the message list.
