Windows mail

Expand Post »
Hi I am unable to open pdf files in windows mail.
If i save the file to say desktop they open no problem.
How can i get the files to open while in windows mail.
When i click on the file it comes up with following:
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.

Unfortunately i am unable to find Set Assoc control panel.
I am running vista home.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Re: Windows mail

Try installing a different application(other than Adobe) to open PDF's
like Foxit Reader.

Re: Windows mail

Tks guys for all your input. I have now decided to go with windows 2003 outlook and now have no problem opening pdf files.
Still, it's an annoying problem that MS should fix.

Cheers n beers
