Unable to open jpg attachment in Outlook 2003
in [Outlook]
|
From: Peter Facey on 25 Jan 2007 06:55 Double clicking on a jpg attachment says !Application not found. It does not say what app is not found. It does not give me option to associate a program with jpg. WinXP is configured to open jpgs in Windows Picture & Fax viewer. Clicking on jpg file in Win Explorer opens it correctly. I have admin privs. I have searched and searched but cannot find any Outlook configuration option about this.

From: Peter Facey on 25 Jan 2007 13:42 Actually no, because I have no trouble opening other attachments (pdf, doc etc), and I only built this system last week. However, tried it now. There is only one file in that folder. BTW Win explorer would not show me the \Temporary Internet Files\OLKBF folder, even though I run with "don't hide protected operating system files" and "show hidden system files and folders". Fortunately, command line DIR showed it. Is there a registry key that tells outlook what app to run to open a jpg?

From: Roady [MVP] on 25 Jan 2007 15:30 I know, that is because the Temporary Internet Files folder is a special folder as the guide explains. Outlook doesn't have to do anything with opening attachments. You can set your file associations in Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more ----- "Peter Facey" <PeterFacey(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DE2E65D3-8B7E-4FD6-B283-D19F3F45EAD0(a)microsoft.com... > Actually no, because I have no trouble opening other attachments (pdf, doc > etc), and I only built this system last week.

From: Peter Facey on 25 Jan 2007 16:07 As explained in my first post, Windows jpg association was already set up and working. However, I have fixed this problem, without knowing why, by changing the association to MS office Picture Manager.
