When I double click on a zip file attachment in Outlook 2000, Windows will prompt a box telling me to save the file to disk.

Is there a way to disable this dialog box from asking me to save the file to disk? I'm using Windows XP Professional.thanks and regards,

You shd 'uncheck' the option "Always ask before opening this type of file". This option is available in the same box where you are prompted to save/open the file.

Where have you been for the last several years? You should NEVER double-click on ANY attachment in an email, that's why the dialog-box is there. You should ALWAYS save the attachment, and run a virus check on it BEFORE opening it in any way!

I have explain to the user, the reasons behind for saving the zip file to the harddisk but the user says its too troublesome, she wants to open it straight away and other PC can do it, why not hers.
