Somhow I have inadvetently set Outlook Express on my
Win2000 pro machine to automatically open attachments when
the message itself is opened. This is probably pretty
dangerous. How can I set it back to having to manually
click on the paper clip to open the attachemtn, so I can
look at the e-mail before I decide if I want to open the
attachement?
Thanks!

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting
in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

Windows Explorer->Tools->Folder Options->File Types, navigate to the file
that you want to have NOT open, click on the change button, then check the
option "confirm open after download."
