Prev: Need advice on how to track mileage via Outlook Tasks
Next: can you save multiple e-mails in outlook to a single file?
From: willywlm on 23 Apr 2010 15:09 I had a situation last Fall where my Outlook preferences changed, it's now becoming annoying. Before I could open attachments with several pages, review them by page and print as needed. Suddenly every attachment activates my CS2 program, this change now causes me to read each page separately by going back and reopening the attachment then go to the page each and every time?

Suddenly every attachment activates my CS2 program, So we have to guess as to what is CS2. Might that be Adobe PhotoShop CS2? That's what comes up at the start of the results list on a Google search of "CS2". So is the problem happening with "every attachment" for all filetypes, or just with the attachments supported by CS2? > this > change now causes me to read each page separately by going back and > reopening the attachment then go to the page each and every time? Since Outlook doesn't display attachments, this is not an Outlook issue. The problem is with Windows and the associations defined for filetypes or with CS2 usurping either the filetypes that you want to open with something else or an add-on for CS2 in Outlook that is interferring with the saving or opening of attachments. For filetype associations in Windows, go to Folder Options -> File Types and check what program is associated with the filetypes you was associated with something other than CS2. It might only take clicking on the button to revert to the default handler program. If a quick click doesn't let you revert, right-click on the file, select Open With, browse to the program (handler) that you want to use to open that filetype, and check the option to remember your choice to thereafter associate that handler with that filetype. Maybe CS2 has an option to steal, er, adopt certain filetypes. So go look in CS2's user-configurable options to see if there are some related to filetype associations. There might even be an option to have CS2 steal back the enabled filetypes should some other program (or you) attempt to steal those filetypes. This is an Outlook newsgroup, not one for Photoshop.
