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
