How to Open Email Paper Clips

Open your email program and open the email that contains the attachment. There may be a small paper clip icon next to the email in the list. That one is just to tell you there is an attachment on the email, but you will need to open the email first to access the attachment.
Click the large paper clip icon on the individual email. The attachment may be sent through a virus scanner before becoming available, so you may need to wait a little bit before it opens. If you already have a program that can view it, it should open up. If you receive a warning such as 'blocked' or 'malicious program,' you shouldn't open it, because there is a danger of a virus. If you receive an error stating 'Windows can't open this file...' then you may need additional software or to set an association.
Look under the error message for the full file name of the attachment. The extension, or the part ofter the '.', will cue you in on the type of program required. .Jpg, .gif, .png, .jpeg and .tif require a graphics program. .Doc and .docx requires Microsoft Word or Open Office. .Xls requires Excel or Open Office. If in doubt, you can search Google for the extension to gain insight as to its requirements. Use the format '.ABC extension' in your search.
Click the circle next to 'Select a program from a list of installed programs' and click 'OK.'
Click the appropriate program, such as a graphics program, word processor, etc, and click 'OK' to open the file with the selected program. If you don't see the program, you can click 'Browse' to locate it manually in a Windows Explorer type setting. If you check 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' then Windows will remember your settings and use them next time it encounters the same file extension.
Associate a file type manually in Windows 7 by clicking the Start orb, typing 'Make a file type always open in a specific program' and pressing Enter. On the resulting screen, you can select the file extension and click 'Change program' at the top to change the associated program, similar to the previous step. This is also useful if you accidentally associate an inappropriate program with an extension.

How to Tell If Your Laptop Is Registered (4 Steps)

Locate your laptop's serial number. Most laptops have a serial number on the underside of the machine. A Dell laptop also has a 'service tag', which is useful in looking up purchase and warranty information.
Check the registration of your laptop at the manufacturer's website. This can often be done by entering the laptop serial number or service tag into an online form. Alternatively, you can call the laptop company, and check the registration of that particular machine.
Check the registration of the laptop's operating system. In Windows, this can be done by right-clicking on 'My Computer.' In Mac OS X, this can be done through the Apple menu (you can access the serial number in this way, as well). Often, this will not give you the exact identity of the owner or previous owners, but might give you some relevant information, such as a pseudonym.
Contact any institution under which the laptop may have been registered. For example, many universities and various governmental bodies require laptop registration. If your laptop appears to have been the property of such an institution, contact the relevant tech support staff to determine its registration information.
