Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to disable the Outlook (2007) message box that is asking if you would like to open or save a attachment.



I found that it is possible to fix this with registry settings, the only problem is that when i use a .reg file and import these settings, it is working fine without any problem. Only when i add the settings trough the PowerLaunch user registry settings with the RES Management Console, the settings are not working. It seems that they are overwritten by something from PowerFuse, they are not present in the registry anymore after the (RES)shell is loaded.

The settings are like this:

Code:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\PowerFuse.doc]
"EditFlags"=dword:00010000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\PowerFuse.docx]
"EditFlags"=dword:00010000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\PowerFuse.pdf]
"EditFlags"=dword:00010000

Then i found the OutlookNoOpenDialog setting at the PWRUSER.INI, i gave this a try but these also are not working.

I did try things like this: OutlookNoOpenDialog=|DOC|PDF|XLS|

But these settings are reset to OutlookNoOpenDialog=| when i refresh powermenu. I found that the "Always ask before opening this type of file" setting should be written to the "OutlookNoOpenDialog" setting when you turn the setting off at the dialog. But this doesn't work.

Is there someone who managed to get this working? I prefer to disable these dialog boxes for known file types for all users.

Using RES PowerFuse 2008 SR7

Kind regards,
Roland

Hello Roland,
The OutlookNoOpenDialog setting is inside the pwruser.ini file. Behind that there are the IFA's for which this setting applies, as you found out yourselve already.
The "always ask before opening this type of file" setting is, as far as I know, not a setting in the GUI of RES PowerFuse.
Which exact version of RES PowerFuse are you using? 8.0.7.xx?

Are all users experiencing this issue? Does this also happen with a new user?
You can use procmon to monitor the registry keys in order to find which application/process is overwriting the registry at a refresh.
Are the registry settings added to a User Preference?

Anyway, putting in the settings for an IFA with PowerLaunch --> User Registry is not the way to go. In my experience this causes results that are very unpredictable, if they work at all...
