Hi,
I seem to have accidentally clicked on "Open Automatically" for Word
(.doc) files sent as attachments.

I'd like to set it back so that it always asks whether I really want to
open it or not.

How do I recover the feature for Word (.doc) files?
Thanks.

Click OK, then OK. Close Control Panel.

Brian,
Thanks a lot for the tip. It works perfectly; didn't occur to me to
look there.
