Outlook is "blocking access to potentially unsafe
attachments". This includes the email address of the
Chinese Embassy, which I needed to apply for a visitors'
visa. Putting aside my outrage that Microsoft should try
to act as my nanny, how do I stop it doing this? I am
grown up enough to make these decisions myself!

1. Logon with an administrator account as we are going into the
registry. Make sure Outlook is closed.

2. Open your registry editor by opening the Run command and type
regedit (regedt32 for Windows 2000)

3. Locate the following key
For Outlook 2000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0
\Outlook\Security]
For Outlook 2002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office
\10.0\Outlook\Security]
For Outlook 2003 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office
\11.0\Outlook\Security]

4. Goto Edit-> New-> String Value.

5. Name the value Level1Remove (case sensitive!)

6. Double-click on the newly created value and enter the extension
including the "dot" that you want to open in Outlook. For instance .exe
If you need to enter more than one extension you'll have to type
it like this; .exe;.bat;.url

7. Press OK on the input box and close the registry editor
 
You're welcome! :-)
