You can see but can't touch attached files in Outlook Express
August 7 2006

Q: I use Outlook Express for my email program, but for some reason I cannot open attached files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and even PDFs) even though I can see them… This is driving me nuts! How can I access these files?

A: If you didn’t notice, this change took place after a recent Windows update was installed on your computer. That update included a new security feature designed to save your computer from potential viruses embedded in attachments. Unfortunately, almost all attachments have some risk when you open them. Unless you are willing to resort to a carrier pigeon to share files, you are going to have to turn this feature off. Here's how:

 

In Outlook Express:

1. Tools > Options...

2. Click the 'Security' tab

3. Uncheck 'Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could be potentially a virus.'

4. Click 'Apply'

5. Click 'OK'

You're done!
Check your spelling

Q:
I use Outlook as my email management program.  Even though I am a pretty good speller, my typing needs improvement.  How can I get Outlook to automatically check all my emails spelling before it sends them?
A: All you need to do is turn on the spell checker feature.  Here's how:

1. Open Outlook
2. Tools > Options...
3. Click the 'Spelling' tab
4. Select 'Always check spelling before sending'
5. Click the 'Apply' button
6. Click the 'OK' button
*The same process works for Outlook Express.  Now there are no more exqcuses
