Opening Word Attachments and Explorer Docs Under XP SP2

J

jsr

Since installing SP2 for XP, I now am unable to open Word attachments in
email without saving them to my HDD first. Additionally, I am unable to open
a document using Explorer by dbl-clicking on the document. I have to open
Word first and then find the document and open it.

Before SP2, I could open attachments to emails or files in Explorer by
simply double clicking on them. Now I have to save email attachments to my
HDD, open Word, and then find the file.

In the case of using Explorer, I can open Word by double-clicking on a Word
file, but it does not open the document. It only opens Word and then I have
to use the Open file option in Word to open the document.

Is there a setting somewhere I can change to fix this new challenge?..John
