windows blocked access to content

my friend sent me some stuff over Windows Live Messenger, and it was a .exe
file. every single time, to my frustration, windows blocked it without giving
me a choice to access it or not. went to windows mail (as instructed by
windows help) and unchecked "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened
that could potentially be a virus" under security options.
tried downloading the file again, and again Windows blocked it without
giving me any options. can you please help me? I just want to access my
files.
 
Hello,

you could see if the following setting in Live Messenger is checked:
Tools -> Options -> File Transfer -> "Automatically reject file
transfers...". If yes, uncheck it and try again.

Yes all this while it has been unchecked.

hi can anybody help?
i am still unable to access the content. it's an EXE file. i would just like
to have the choice of blocking it, if i wish to block it. it's quite
frustrating that windows blocked it for me without allowing me the choice to
allow the program to run.
 
Me too, same problem, wont let me open an exe file in Vista... apparently
Microsoft think every user in the world is a novice with no idea on what
files are dangerous or not. Nice touch...

I have a similar problem with exe files.

Can't anyone help here?

Where are all the people who are MVP's?
