Security updates should not re-set Outlook's attachment prompting

S

Shasta

When double-clicking a file attachment in an Outlook e-mail, the user is
prompted to either open or save. If they remove the check-mark so they are
not asked again for that file type, all is well. However, this customization
is re-set back to the default after an Office security update, and users are
prompted again. They are getting annoyed by having to go through this every
month when there's an Office security update.

We don't want to turn off the prompts for everyone, just to stop having it
re-set back to the default if the user has changed it. My organization is
using Office 2003 sp1 on WinXP sp2 with Exchange, Active Directory and WSUS.
Preferred solution would be via AD group policy, or even to the configuration
of the automatic updates service via wsus.

Thanks in advance
