Level1Remove Setting Being Ignored!

[Ben]

Hi,

We've added some file extensions to the Level1Remove registry setting,
to allow users to open them. This has worked up until a few days ago,
when users started getting attachment security warnings on those
specified extensions. The warning message that pops up is:

Attachment Security Warning
-----------------------------------------------------
WARNING!

The file may contain a virus that can be harmful to your computer. You
must save this file to disk before it can be opened. It is important
to be VERY certain that this file is safe before you open it.

Filename: timesheet.zip

Type: Compressed zipped folder
---------------------------------------------------

The registry setting we're using is:

---------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000003
"UseCRLChasing"=dword:00000001
"Level1Remove"="zip;mar;cer"
---------------------------------------------------

I've also tried adding the settings via the Group Policy >
Administrative Templates > Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 > Tools |
Options > Security > Allow access to email attachments, which sets the
Level1Remove value under the Policies key (Software\Policies\Microsoft
\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security), but still the warning message appears.

Our users find this message annoying, especially when its files that
they work with often. Is there anyway to stop the warning message from
appearing, and just set outlook to allow the attachment to be opened
without saving it to the hard drive first?

Many thanks

Ben

zip-files aren't blocked so no need to add them to the registry key. That
only raises security instead of lowering it.

Hi Roady,

Thanks for the reply.

I removed ZIP from all the registry settings, and users are now able
to open them without any warning. Not sure what changed recently,
whether ZIP was added by someone messing with the group policy or
what.

Thanks for the help!
