How to enable outlook to open unknown files
My company has a computer system that sends some .ASP files attached to the emails. I've seen other people opening those files straight from Outlook by double clicking them.
In my case, I try to double click the attached file but instead of opening the file, it shows a window to save the file in the PC.
How can I configure Outlook 2007 to open this file by making double click on it?
as a remark, once I save the file in Desktop, if I double click it, it opens the web-browser and shows the info with no problem.
I've been told that the file is HTML, but only the extension is ASP.
In advance, thank you very much!

.ASP file are blocked because they are consider Level 1 Attachment Security Risk. You may need to modify your registry settings to resolve this issue.

thank you all for the fast replies.
@Number-1: I don't have problem with that, once the file is saved, I can open it by making double click on it
@saastech: I will try the registry trick. I may have an answer the monday (friday is almost over here in Chile)
Thank you both :)

Hello again, after a good weekend, here I am with the reply :)
I tried the tips you gave me, saastech, with no luck. Those tips only allowed me to avoid the deletion of the attached files. I need the files to be open right from outlook.
Here's a picture of the message.
any other idea?

Open outlook then click tools then highlite macro,then choose security,here you can make the changes your looking for .
Make sure theres no checkmark when you look in automatic download everything should be checked permit.
Now highlite e-mail security make sure allow script in public folders is checked.
Now highlite Attachment Handling make sure reply with changes is unchecked then click attachment and document previewers make sure all are checked.
What is macro security set to?

thank you for the reply, joinaunion
I tried what you say and the problem is still there.
In Ms Outlook 2003 I could open the ASP file right from the browser, in Outlook 2007 I can't.
here are some pictures of the configs:

Sorry I just realized that .asp files are blocked by default in outlook.Have the sender resend the file with a different extension,like .html .doc something along those lines.
Heres a list of blocked extensions.Thats why your getting error that its a virus.
