Problem opening attachments

When I receive an email with an exe attachment I cannot open it. I have
changed the settings in Outlook public folders to allow exe files and what
not and this does seem to be taking effect somewhat.

Without the change I cannot get access to the email. By changing the
appropriate access level I can get it to prompt me to save or open according
to the access I set.

Problem is when I set it to open it goes through all the motions and then
gives me an error. The following error is logged in the event viewer.

Access to C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\OLK2\filename.exe has been restricted by your Administrator
by location with policy rule {dda3f824-d8cb-441b-834d-be2efd2c1a33} placed
on path C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\OLK*


I cannot find the policy it is referring to but know that it is not a domain
policy.

Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure if this is of any help but the registry key which
will allow exe files is located in:
HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Security\
Then add a string called 'Level1remove' and change it's
value to '.exe' also, if you have other file types which
are disallowed (e.g '.scr') you can add it to the safe
list by changing the value of your added string
to '.exe;.scr' and so on. Hope I helped you somehow.
