Files downloaded from outlook open in read only mode

These are not documents that were received in emails. They are documents that I regularly use. Some I use every day. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I have a file that I use every day. Do you want to open as Read-Only again? I anwer no. I modify it. I save it. Next time I open it, I get the questions again. How can that keep continuing?

Again, I have resorted to saving it to a different name. Then saving the different named file to the old name.

Better than opening as Read-Only, but still a pain. I tried this. I am using McAfee. These are files that I created. Still need help?

Did you right click on the file and select properties then click unblock? This is a security feature for attachments from outside sources. I keep getting this message Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachment. I have received. That sounds like the new security patch from June 13 broke it. Did you ever set a lwvel1remove key for that file type? The patch is ignoring the key - it should be fixed in the updates coming out this week.

That key is not needed for xls files. How can this be fixed. I cannot open any attachment from in outlook. That option is set within each office app and applies to their file types. Are all attachments affected, word, psf, excel, jpg, etc? It's unlikely to be protected view if pdf and images are also affected. I get the following warning. The virus has been cleaned. You may want to notify the sender of the virus.

Are you looking at the Excel options? Protected view is an set in each application, not Outlook. How do I re-enable the protected view for Excel files in Outlook? I want to be able to decide to unprotect a spreadsheet instead of them automatically being unprotected.
