    Hey everyone,

    I have a bit of a lame question for you.
    This comes from a user of mine and its overall pointless but Im trying to strive for user satisfaction.
    Anyway here is the question (as per the user):
    I turned off the notice reminding not to open attachments unless from a
    reliable source (clicked do not show this message again) temporarily but
    don't know how to turn it back on.

    I know this is a lame one, but anyone know how to get the message back.
    I tried resetting the internet explorer security settings (as I know Outlook does depend on IE settings in some cases ex. formating)
    Ive tried a few things but havent had the privelege to devote much time to it as it isnt a critical problem.

    If you have a solution for this please pass it on but dont go out of your way.

    Thanks in advance,

    VIPER

    If he/she is sensible enough, then I don't see a need for that message.

    Its essential the same message you get from Microsoft anytime you do something for the first time.

    Hi viper99

    Not sure if this is the solution you require

    In Outlook to turn on desktop alerts.
    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    On the Preferences tab, click E-mail Options,
    and then click Advanced E-mail Options.
    Under When new items arrive in my Inbox,
    tick the check box. Display a New Mail Desktop Alert (default Inbox only)

    Thanks for the reply Tex.
    Unfortunately it wasnt the answer to my "lame" problem :p

    Don't worry about it at the end of the day yesterday I told the user he would have to live with it as the solution seem to be more work than it is worth.

    Thanks for the responses though nadirah & Texcritter.

    PS. to clarify the problem so that I dont leave you confused. The message the user wants back is one of microsoft's Warning messages about something being unsafe. You have the option of pressing continue or cancel & you also have the option of putting a checkmark in the "Do not ask this again" box.

    This little guy shows up everywhere Ex. In a fresh install of windows you will likely have it pop up in IE several times until you can continue browsing in peace.

    Anyway thanks again for your insight.
