Hello,
I use MSN to get files and If the files are not zipped I cannot see them.
I am not an expert in PC and I have set the security to minimum, disabled
the firewall but I still cannot see these files unless they are zipped.
I just received one i need to open fast but the person forgot to zip it and
I cannot ask that person to send it again.
Thank you for your help.
Ana

Is this an e-mail you're talking about?

Are you using an e-mail client (program) or opening your e-mail
from within a browser? If it's within a browser, what browser?

(By the way, especially as a non-PC person, you should *never*
set security to a minimum and/or disable your firewall!)

Thank you for your answer.
I use MSN messenger. I always receive these un zipped files in a chat
windows. I can accept it but when I want to open em it says this : Windows
found that this files is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer,
Windows has blocked access to this File. And OK to click. Now I need to know
where that files is and how to retrieve it. Must be somewhere in my PC...
Thank you
