Hi,

I have been helping a friend with MSOE & Outlook, she had been sending
invoices from MYOB using Outlook but recipients with OE can't access the PDF
attachments. I used to have a info box appear when I started OE informing me
that it wasn't my default mail client and to click here to make it so. There
was also a check box "Don't show message again"'
It was clicked accidentally, but we need the default notice back.
I've done a Google, searched KB here & posted Q @ Woodys Lounge but no luck.

Do any of you guys know how to get the "Not default email client" notice to
return when we start OE in future?

TIA
Neville

Hi Guys,

I've been doing a bit more investigating on this problem & have been hunting
around in the registry & have found solution

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{04643869-AE82-4EEF-9D86-1C54060118A4}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Mail
No Check Default needs to be set to 0.

Thanks

First, do they have Adobe Reader installed?

If they do and it still doesn't work, in OE go to Tools | Options | Security
and uncheck "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could
potentially be a virus".
