Is it done the same way as in Outlook XP? If so can someone direct me to a location that describes the area in the registry I need to change? Attachements like zip and exe's and, ...
 
the registry key changes slightly, but the theory is pretty much the same.

Hi neo:

This article explains why I asked the question. It is so hard to understand exactly what they are saying to achieve the change in allowing the attachment types:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...e2003/reskit/ork03/html/OutG06.asp?frame=true

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...e2003/reskit/ork03/html/OutG07.asp?frame=true

The first article says:

The registry key to set the exception list contains a semicolon-delimited list of file extensions. The value of the key is as follows:



HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security
Value name: Level1Remove



Now what exactly are they saying here? Is the Level1Remove a key or is it a Name? If it is a Name what type is it REG_SZ, REG_DWORD, ???



If it is a Key then what is the Name for the semi-colon delimited list?



In the second article it says,



You can add or remove items from the default list through the Outlook Security Settings tab of the Outlook Security template.


Well I have the Office 2003 Resource kit installed so that in Group Policy I have the Outlook Security Template. Under that I have two options. Level which is either High, Medium or Low. The other is Trust all installed Addins and Templates. There is nothing else there AND there is NOTHING there to, "add or remove items from the default list ."

It is things like this that where I feel very disappointed with Microsoft products.

Thanks for the link. I hope it is clearer.
 
name and it is a reg_sz. the link i sent you to on the slipstick should
have mentioned this, so i'm on my way out there to check now.
