In Microsoft outlook. Many emails have logos embedded in them. When they come into my in-box I get a pop-up warning telling me to either overwrite, or delete the file. I always delete. It is a real bother. How do I turn it off?

Hello,

You can try this settings. If this does not work, can you provide the exact error?

Outlook 2003 normally warns you before you permanently delete items, either by selecting items and pressing SHIFT-DELETE, or by removing items from your Deleted Items folder. However, if you would rather skip this warning dialog and immediately force items to be deleted, you can do the following:

1. Click "Tools", selecting "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select "Other".
3. Click "Advanced Options".
4. Uncheck "Warn before permanently deleting items".
5. Click "OK" on the two open dialog boxes to close them.

Note after selecting this option, once you decide to permanently delete items, they will be gone with no warning!
