Outlook Attachments

Whenever I double-click on an attachment (mostly photographs) I get a "Opening mail-attachment" window with two choices: "Open it" or "Save it to disk", and the the "Save it to disk" is always the default. I then have to change it to "Open it" to look at the photograph. How can I change the default in this window to "Open it"?

It's probably a registry tweak, but 'save to disk' is set to default because it's dangerous to open attachments without checking them first, especially from within Outlook, even if you know who they're from. E-mail addresses are easily hijacked & attachments are the main way of spreading viruses.
