| Modifying Microsoft Office Outlook to allow executable Attachments |
Microsoft Office 2003 Outlook will now by default block the download of any executable file formats (EXE) from a received email. This feature was introduced within Service Pack 2.
The complete list of file formats that will be blocked by default can be found here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011402971033.aspx
STEPS:
1. Open the Registry Editor by click Start then clicking on Run and typing regedit then hitting the Enter key .
2. Expand the branches to : "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security"
3. Create a new string value by selecting New and then String Value from the Edit menu.
4. Name the new value "Level1Remove".
5. Double-click the new "Level1Remove" to edit it, and enter the filename extensions you'd like to stop Outlook from blocking. Extensions should be typed in lower case, without the dots (.), and separated by semicolons (;). For example, type "exe;mdb;vbs" to allow .exe, .mdb, and .vbs attachments, respectfully.
6. Click Ok and then close the Registry Editor when you're done. You may have to restart Outlook for this change to take effect.
Note the above steps have only been tested and confirmed working on Microsoft Office 2003.
Warning, keep in mind this will allow you to access executable file formats (EXE) within attachments you receive. Always scan your attachments with a Virus Scanner before opening.
