Default Cannot open excel attachments

Try to clean up your Temp folder

Reboot
StartRun
Enter: %temp%
Delete all files and folders in the temp folder
Try again

I am trying to open an excel attachment from my hotmail account. I am
receiving the following message: filename.xls cannot be accessed. The file
may be read only, or you may be trying to access a read only location. Or,
the server the document may be stored on is not responding. I get these
e-mails from work and have been able to open them previously and no one else
seems to be having the same problems. I am running excel 2003 sp2 and the
documents are the same. Please help me - Lisa
