Allow Outlook to open attachments
I dont know about the rest of you but its a PITA when Outlook wont let me open attachments. So heres a quick fix
Open Notepad
paste this
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\O utlook\Security]
"Level1Remove"=".exe"
and save it as whateveryouwant.reg
then double click the reg entry and it will allow .exe files to be opened.
If you want more to be allowed, use a comma delimeted list like this
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\O utlook\Security]
"Level1Remove"=".exe;.url;.pdf"
I know its nothing big, but its saves you the time of digging in the reg every time you want to enable it.
BTW, this only works on 2000 with SP1 or higher or on 2002

This fix has been around since Service Pack 3 for Office 2k came out, or perhaps even earlier. Per these guys, the fix only works on SP3 Office 2k and above...not SP1...just a minor correction.
