Since the last windows update I can no longer open files recieved in my emails. ie pdf’s, word.doc’s, excel files.

I use windows live mail, and since the last windows update I can no longer open file attachments directly in my recieved email.

If I save these from the email, then the associated prog will open them. (ie pdf's, word doc's excel files)

Please tell me if I can fix this, as I don't need to keep saving every attachment.

It would appear trhis has been a problem in the past from what I can see, but unfortunately it does not list a fix.
