Can't Open Attachments in Outlook

Running Outlook 2002 SP3 and I can't seem to figure out how to allow attachments to be opened. A friend just emailed me an .exe file that I need to execute but Outlook won't let me. Isn't there a way around this? Could have sworn there's a way to override but I can't find it for some reason.

Thanks
 
I don't use Outlook, but in Outlook Express here is how to fix the same problem (hopefully the solution is similar):

Under the TOOLS menu select OPTIONS

In the OPTIONS window click on the SECURITY tab

On the SECURITY tab there should be an option that reads:
"Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus"
There should be a check in the box next to this option, un-check the box.


Again, that is for Outlook Express but I am guessing the solution for Outlook is roughly the same.

I'm familiar with that option in Outlook Express, but it's not available in Outlook 2002. Surely there is a way to allow an .exe attachment to be opened/executed but I'm clueless.
