Safer

There is a safer way to do this and it will allow you to specify file extensions that you wish to allow rather than 'will-nilly' letting them all pass through as is the case above.

This will work for Outlook or Outlook Express whichever you wish to apply it to, just make the correct software program ID inthe registry. The example below is for Outlook2002 (Office10).

Remember to back up your data and work carefully when changing any registry settings

Launch REGEDIT and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Sec urity.

Create a new string type value by right-clicking in the right hand pane (or open the Edit menu and choosing New>String Value).

Name the value Level1Remove.

Double-click on it and enter the extensions (file extensions) you want removed from the unsafe list. Seperate each file extension with a semi-colon and do not use any periods(.).

e.g. exe;ini;mp3

There will be a change also to the security level shown in the 'Help/About' about box displayed; it will now indicate 'User Controlled Security'.
