Outlook not opening .exe/.mdb
Date: Thu, 2nd March 2006
OS: All
Description
Outlook doesn't let you open certain file types (.exe etc) for security purposes.
Solution
Run Regedit, and go to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office.0\Outlook\Security (change 10.0 to 9.0 for Outlook 2000 SP3 or to 11.0 for Outlook 2003)
Under that key, add a new string value named Level1Remove.
For the value for Level1Remove, enter a semicolon-delimited list of file extensions. For example, entering this:
.mdb;.url;.exe
