File type association

Posted: 02-22-2008, 11:06 PM
Hi,
When I open an attachment in Outlook and save it, Windows recognized the
file type. For example if the attachment is an Excel document, it saves as
Excel Document, but if I try to save the document with a different name,
Windows doesn't recognize the file. For example the attachment was xyz.xls
and I save it as abc, and then try to double click on it to open the file, I
receives a message select an application to use to open the file. On the old
system with XP and Office 2003, I didn't have to type the 3 letter extension
when saving a file, is there a way to make it work without having to type the
3 letter extension? Thank you
