Outlook Troubleshooting: Cannot Open Attachments

Outlook Troubleshooting: Cannot Open Attachments

Recently i come across this issue, and resolution for how to fix it

PROBLEM : When you receive attachment in your outlook, and when you try to open it, it says " No permission to open the attachment"

Troubleshoot : This has nothing to do with the permission..this is because the temp folder is full...either you clear the temp folder or do the following..

Solution : Go to REGEDIT->HKEY_CURRENT_USER ->Software ->Microsoft ->Office then click

  • 12 ->If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2007
  • 14 ->if you are using Microsoft Outlook 2010

then click Outlook -> expand it, select Security and edit the path "OutlookSecureTempFolder"

Check the image below

(Normally here you will see the default path..creat a temp folder under the available drive and then give the path here)
