I'm a new member of this list and have been using MSO for years, so I am
looking forward to following discussions here.
About a week ago I started having trouble with using Copy-Paste to copy
documents attached to email in Outlook (not Outlook Express) to my HD. I had
done this for years: Select the attachment, press Ctrl+C, change to a folder
in Windows Explorer and press Ctrl+V. Bingo, I had my project set up and
ready for work. So, why is this a big deal? This crippling of Outlook eats
up time. Outlook suddenly is forcing me to right-click the attachment,
choose Save As, thread my way to a folder on the HD and click OK.

I can use Copy-Paste to attach a file on my HD to an email I am sending.
Nothing has changed there. Does anyone know what is going on?
