Outlook XP blocking Attachments

[reicherb]

Outlook is blocking attachments that I need. Here is the help info about it.

"Attachment file types blocked by Outlook
There are two levels of attachment security. Access to level 1 files is blocked and can't be changed. When you receive an attachment with a level 2 file type, you will be prompted to save the file to your hard disk. If you use Microsoft Exchange Server, your administrator can add and remove file types for both levels of e-mail security. If a file type is added to both levels, it will be treated as a level 1 file type."

Is there anyway to stop this?

Thanks.

Change your security settings in Outlook?
Tools->Options then somewhere in there is a Security tab (not sitting infront of an Outlook enabled PC). Relax your security settings and that should help.

Unless you are behind an Exchange Server, in which case, I have no idea how to help. Sorry.

Try HERE! Download and install the Outlook attachment fix and install. Then just go to Tools/Options/File Attachments and pick and choose what extensions you want to allow.

Copy and paste the following into a Notebook file and save it as outlookfix.reg, double-click it and choose "Yes". All done.


-------BEGIN COPY HERE-------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000003
"UseCRLChasing"=dword:00000002
"Level1Remove"=".bat;.lnk;.mdb;.mde;.url;.reg;.prf;.crt;.msi;.msp;.mst;.exe;.inf"
-------END COPY HERE---------


You might have to edit the 10.0 part to match your version (10.0 = XP, 9.0= 2000, etc).
