Web email attachment associations in Vista

Greetings,

This question does not seem to fit any of the forum headers so I picked the
most general sounding forum I could find.

My laptop is running Vista Ultimate. I use yahoo.com for business email and
use their web based email client for my business account.

Yesterday I received an email with a .pdf attachment. When I went to save
the attachment the browser window refreshed but no dialog appeared asking me
if I wanted to Open or Save the file. No error message, no strange behavior,
just wouldn't bring up the dialog for Open/Save. Last month .pdf attachments
were downloading fine from my email (I received several in October).

I went to a different email with a text attachment and it downloaded just
fine. I then went to several emails from last month that had .pdf
attachments and not one of them would download.

Adobe Reader 9 is installed and working. When I view .pdf files in Explorer
they have the Adobe icon associated with them and they open fine when clicked.

Any help with this matter (even redirection to the correct forum) would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

You need to find a newsgroup with "windows" in it or similar.

This is a group for dotnet developers (and programmers)... .not a general
windows discussion forum.

Good luck.

Hello group, I've got a script here that sends emails with an attachment to an email address that is retrieved from an html form. The email sending code is include below. The problem: when sending the email to certain email servers, the attachment section of the email gets removed and I end up with an attachment of zero kb. Other servers do accept the attachment as expected.

I recently installed Visual Studio 2003, after having already installed VS 2005. Unfortunately, it took over all of the file associations. There is an option in Visual Studio 2005 to restore these associations, under Tools > Options Environment General. However, this button doesn't seem to do anything. Specifically, my SLN files were associated to VS 2003, and when I clicked this, this association didn't change. I even tried deleting...

Recently, I found that I had associated a file type to notepad by mistake. This file type (let's just say, it has the extension .xyz) wasn't supposed to be opened by notepad - actually, it wasn't supposed to be opened by anything at all. However, when I tried to remove the file type association like I could in previous versions of Windows, I found that I was meeting a dead end. I could change the program, no problem at all, but removing it...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
