I have Window XP and Outlook Express. When I want to open a file it comes up like this: THIS FILE DOES NOT HAVE A PROGRAM ASSOCIATED WITH IT FOR PERFORMING THIS ACTION. CREATE AN ASSOCIATION IN THE FOLDER OPTIONS CONTROL PANEL. How do I correct this problem?

Is it Outlook express doing this when you try to run or is this when you try to open a file? If it is a file then what kind of file is it?
