I just got blown away by the email attachment security.
I had a file sent to me that I need very badly and
couldn't open it because it was blocked.

I understand that some people don't pay attention to
there emails and attachments, but why should the ones
that do get punished.

I would like to alter the list on level 1 attachments.
So that I can gain access to the files I need.

How can I do this????

Thanks!!!!
 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0
\Outlook\Security

create a new string value called Level1Remove. In the
string add extensions like this; .url;.bat;.exe

Remember, you are now compromising Outlook security. It's
better to train people to mail in the *.zip format -it
saves some mailbox space as well ;-)
 
Thanks Roady. Works on Outlook 2000 with SR 1a and SP 3 on
W2000, where registry location is .......\9.0
\Outlook\Security
 
I use Windows XP with Outlook XP. To set the acceptable file extensions, I
created a .reg file using notepad. The following lines were typed in
notepad the saved with a .reg extension instead of default .txt:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000003
"UseCRLChasing"=dword:00000001
"Level1Remove"=".url;.lnk;.exe;.mdb"

The above will allow receipt of URLs, links, executables, or Access
databases but you can add others to this if you want.

I then run the .reg file and the registry was automatically updated.

Darren
