    Opening a word/excel doc in Vitsa

    Running windows Vista and Office 2007.

    How do I switch off the request to open a file when I double click on it? From an e-mail attachment, it always asks if I want to open or save the file and does not give me the option to simply check a box saying open without asking.

    I'm running the same here. My setup doesn't ask that question but there should be a selection when you open the file to say "always carry out this action".

    Exactly what I thought, but the option to "always ask before opening this type of file" is grayed out and I can't select it I'm guessing there is another setting somewhere perhps in my security settings but I can;t find anything. Just want to click and the thing to open

    It'll be a Windows Defender issue. Have a look in the control panel.

    It'll be a Windows Defender issue. Have a look in the control panel. You could also put the screen dump up here so I can have a look and compare to mine.

    Vista comes with teh crappy microsnot office pack that you can use each application 20 times or so and then locks itout. (mine did anyway) Turf it all and go grab open office, takes less than 1/3 the disc space a poomtenth of the operational resources and does a butt load more...
