Attachments in Outlook 2003 emails opening in Windows 8 apps

Post by jmt356 »

There is some strange app that is opening up all of my attachments in Outlook 2003 running on Windows 8. Is there a way to get Windows to default to Acrobat Reader for pdfs and Windows Photo Viewer for images? These files default to these programs when opened up from Windows Explorer, but not from Outlook.
Regards,

JMT

I just realized that my pdfs and images were NOT set to default to Adobe Reader and Window Photo Viewer. I just set them to default as such and the Windows 8 Apps is no longer activated when I open pdfs and images from Outlook 2003.

Please therefore ignore the above post.
