I’m a normal “User” at my law firm, and my PC now has Win 10 Pro 64-bit and Office 2016 32-bit.
Each time my Admins repair, reinstall or upgrade my Office, I have a recurring problem opening attachments from Outlook email. When I double-click on an attachment in an email, Outlook always FIRST prompts me “Would you like to open the file or save it to your computer?”, and the option for “Always ask before opening this type of file” is checked but greyed out, so I cannot uncheck it. I don’t like being prompted. See THIS PICTURE
To let me uncheck the “Always ask” option, my Admins must first give me Admin status rights, and only then can I uncheck “Always ask before opening this type of file”. Then my Admins have to turn me back into a normal USer. That’s not so fast for them. Right now, one of my Admins had to spend more than an hour on this.
SO … is there any permanent setting or script they could run that would let me uncheck “Always ask before opening this type of file” without being an Admin myself?
Thanks.
