IE & will no longer download files, if i try to save a file the destination
is not available in the download box and then an error message appears saying
unable to download. In outlook express i can not open a word doc attachment
(for example) if I save as and move the file I can then open it ? The last
time this happened sfc /scannow cured it but not this time.I have also tried
chkdsk /r but no luck. I can download files in firefox ok. I do not know if
this is related but in my computer the inbuilt card reader appears to have
vanished. I would be most grateful on any help curing this problem.
I have run spyware and virus protection o.K

This group is for discussion of .NET Framework issues. You need a group that
addresses Outlook Express.

The group you want is:

microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general

I'll cross post this for you.

Windows version?
Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to the file type in question and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Check the box for "Confirm open after download".
