I agree, she got help from somebody. I think they might have called one another. I don't know what she may know about the computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene" <gsasner@xxxxxxxxx>

The person must know or find out what the extension for the file is in order 
to make the association if she is going to make it manually.  You can have
Windows look on the Internet for appropriate programs to open a specific
file but I almost never do this.  Find out if the person can tell you the
extensions.

What types of files is the person trying to open?  I can give
instructions
for how this is done but since programs that are installed usually
associate
the files they can play during installation unless the user doesn't allow 
this to happen, I have two concerns.
First, is there a program capable of working with whatever the file type
is
on the computer and, second, are the files safe?
Also, it should be clearly understood that there is nothing special about 
an
attachment.  You don't make associations for attachments.  You make
associations for the file type that is the attachment.  This means that
any
file with the same extension will open the program you make the
association
for regardless of whether the file arrives as an attachment or you get it 
on
a cd or on a thumb drive or try to open it from any other source.

Hello this is for a friend!
Hi,
I'm wondering if someone knows how to create an association with certain
file attachments in outlook express. The only attachments that I can open 
are files that will open in Microsoft word. Each time I try to open an
attachment that is in a different format I get an error message when I
try
to open the file. Would greatly appreciate any help on this one.  Thanks
so
much in advance. (smile)
