I am getting this prompt in Outlook every time I try to open a .doc file.

You should only open attachments from a trustworthy source prompt when opening a .doc file

There is a checkbox that says 

Always ask before opening this type of file

which is checked and grayed out. The user does not have local admin privileges. I was wondering if there was a registry edit to resolve this.

I had the same issue with one of our users, I just change "Microsoft Word" Trust Center Settings to Enable Protected View for Outlook. To do so, run Microsoft Word, go to File => Options, in open window go to Trust Center then Trust Center Settings and in Protect View settings select "Enable Protected View for Outlook". After that you should be able to open doc files without any prompt.

Your user is seeing the results of the Attachment Manager. You can

  • Turn the Attachment Manager off (or, rather, tell it not to save zone information in files) with a group policy setting.
  • If you trust the site from which the user download the document, add the site to the list of trusted Internet sites. (Raymond Chen's preferred option.)
  • Show the user how to select Unblock on the file’s Properties tab.
  • Fiddle around at a low level with tools like streams or AlternateStreamView to delete the data stream that comprises the zone identifier.
