Solution for the zip attacgment problem

[ineu]

Hope that MS will read this (and all the other related messages) AND CHANGE
THEIR STUPID BEHAVIOUR to decide everything for the users instead of giving
them a choice.

Now for the problem with zip attachments:

Outlook 2003, Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2000 SP3 (but not Outlook 98 or
earlier Outlook 2000 versions) allow the user to use a registry key to open
up access to blocked attachments. (Always make a backup before editing the
registry.) To use this key:

1. Run Regedit, and go to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security (change
10.0 to 9.0 for Outlook 2000 SP3 or to 11.0 for Outlook 2003)

2. Under that key, add a new string value named Level1Remove.

3. Right click on the new string and click on Midfy

4. Enter a semicolon-delimited list of file extensions. For example: .zip;.exe
Add a dot to each extension. Note also that there is not a space between
extensions.

Far easier to use the Attachment Options utility (there's a link to it
at http://www.slipstick.com/). It's free. Loads as an Outlook add-in
which adds a tab page to the Options display.
