How to open OutlookSecurity.oft

I am trying to install the Outlook Security Template using my pc (XP Pro)
instead of the Exchange Server. I have installed the 2003 Admpack.exe and
registered hashctl.dll and comdlg32.ocx as the instructions say. But when I
try to open the OutlookSecurity.oft by double clicking, I just get the
generic "Windows cannot open this file: What do you want to do? Use the web
to find an appropriate program or choose from a list of programs?"

On this webpage
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011402931033.aspx they simply
say "On a computer running Outlook, open OutlookSecurity.oft from the working
directory where you installed the Outlook security tools." They don't say
how to open it.

Any help would be very appreciated.

TIA
 
AmytDev,

That page is just a reprint of the readme text in the adminpack. I have
already followed those steps.

The problem is when I get to Step #5, I double click OutlookSecurity.oft and
I get "Windows cannot open this file: What do you want to do? Use the web
to find an appropriate program or choose from a list of programs?"

For Whatever reason, double clicking doesn't open the file.
