By default, Outlook (part of MS Office) won't allow you send or receive certain types

of attachments. The rationale is that these documents can contain viruses or other
harmful code, but the fact that Outlook doesn't let you disable or at least customize
this feature is just plain stupid. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the Registry Editor (type "regedit" at Run in Start Menu) .

2. Expand the branches to

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

3. Create a new string value by selecting New and then String Value from the Edit
menu.

4. Name the new value "Level1Remove".

5. Double-click the new "Level1Remove" to edit it, and enter the filename extensions
you'd like to stop Outlook from blocking. Extensions should be typed in lower case,
without the dots (.), and separated by semicolons (;). For example, type
"exe;mdb;vbs" to allow .exe, .mdb, and .vbs attachments, respectfully.

6. Click Ok and then close the Registry Editor when you're done. You may have to
restart Outlook for this change to take effect.
