Outlook XP Unsafe Attachments

[mbarrow]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to stop Outlook XP blocking all unsafe attachments (*.exe files). I've gone though the help files but to no avail.

Thanks

Hello,
I had the same problem with Outlook 2002 not letting me recieve a database file that I needed. No options: It just wouldn't let me open it.
Then I found this great add-in from Slipstick Systems. It's free and I've used it for about 4 months with no problems.
It allows you to do what Outlook should have let you do from the start; pick and choose for yourself what you want it to warn you about before you open it.
Here is the link to this great add-in:

Enjoy!!

Choose the "Attachment Security Options" link by Ken Slovak. The other listed on the page may be good also, but I can only vouch for the Ken Slovak one.
