You
need to be in Windows Explorer, and not the web browser: Internet
Explorer.
Melvin:
When I click on "Tools" from the explorer window,
"Folder Options" do not come up. What comes up are the
following:
- Mail &
News
-
Syncronize
- Windows
Update
- Show Related
Links
- Internet
Options
none of which leads to "Folder
Options".
Would appreciate your review and advice of how to
ultimately get to "File Types", AND then what applications should be assigned
to "File Types" --- and how to get the appropriate application re: Adobe
Acrobat Reader.

Hi Paul,
From an explorer window, click on Tools,
Folder Options, File Types. Select the PDF extension and it should
tell you what application is assigned to them. The other thing to try
is to just double click on a pdf file from the explorer window and make sure
that Acrobat opens the file.

Thank you for
your timely response. Glad to know I'm not the only one with such a
problem --- none of my close associates have occurred such a
situation.
One question, how
do I "be sure that the association for the pdf extension is assigned to
Acrobat"?

- Hi Paul,
- I've had numerous complaints from friends and clients with
essentially the same complaint. They, like you, were using Outlook
Express. It seems to be a fairly common issue. For some time
I found that having them save the attachment first, then opening the
saved file worked reliably, but I've since found that in several of the
cases, the problem was related to file associations being missing or
wrong. Make sure that the association for the pdf extension is
assigned to Acrobat. If that still doesn't resolve the issue, or
it is in fact already that way, you should still be able to fall back to
the "save and then open" mode.

Windows 2000 Professional.
- I cannot decode pdf messages "received as
attachments to e-mails". Message I receive states that "Message
was not decoded properly. This version of Windows 2000 is not
supported. You should upgrade to ServcicePack 2 and run setup
again".
- I have upgraded not only to Service Pack 2
but Service Pack 3 and 4 as well.
- Still my computer does not decode "pdf
messages received as attachments to e-mails".
- I would appreciate your
assistance.
