Must say, Extreme is the mac... get it!! <drum roll then splash>..... <silence> ..... <cricket>.... Ok sorry... <leave the stage>

[HyDeNCiTy]

I also wanted to ask, do you have to specify all the extensions you want to let through?? Or can you only do it for one at a time??

[XtremeMaC]

hello I think u didn't look at my post carefully there are already 2 extensions in there, which means u can add more with a semi colon...

good day.

[HyDeNCiTy]

Sorry dude, I feel like an a$$... lol... Hey thanx anyways, I was lookin for this.

Later!

[HyDeNCiTy]

Hey I dont' have that value in the Reg. Do I need to create it???

[XtremeMaC]

if u save that code as a .reg file and merge it
it will automatically create that value.
u won't have that value when u install office. its a tweak....

[HyDeNCiTy]

Thanx man!!!

[HyDeNCiTy]

hey Mac.... I do not know how to create a .reg file or how to import it... I tried, but it didn't work my way, can u explain how to go bout it?

[XtremeMaC]

lol your questions come in parts
ok well its easy.
copy the

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security]

"Level1Remove"=".exe;.msi"

into a blank notepad document.

press save and in there type filename.reg and save it.
to install this just double click on the .reg file and it should install
otherwise right click on it and click "merge".
if u want to do this unattendedly type

regedit /S filename.reg

[HyDeNCiTy]

Thanx man.... I felt kinda stupid askin... but Thanx for the help again. Never really created Registry keys...

[XtremeMaC]

dude no worries. i wasn't born knowing how to create them either

[beccatigger]

i'm using OE 6 on XP-I don't have Office installed on here, how do I edit the reg files-I tried what u did but obviously changed the file target, didn't work...

[XtremeMaC]

these are specificly for outlook 2003
let me look for oe.

edit: while i'm looking for it did u check the security tab under options
look for "do not allow attachments potentially etc.."

ok the registry key for allowing all types of attachment is:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{137EA229-2E52-47C8-8643-5B206C478EE7}\Software\
Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Mail]
"Safe Attachments"=dword:00000000

i'm not sure if that random number mixture is the same with yours.
well u know where to look, what to change now..

Normally its not the same number. Found that out with my OutlookOpt option's program.
Note: There is a second key that could be set that blocks exe attachment's.
1 to block and dword:00000000 to not block
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express]
"BlockExeAttachments"=dword:00000001

For oe 6, i dont know the registry settings but you can go to Tools>>Options>>Security Tab

Under The Security tab IN the Virus Protection Section uncheck the check box that says "Do not allow Attachments to be saved or opened..."
You can then download all the attachments no matter the type

[maxXPsoft]

Yep thats what XtremeMaC said thats the
"Safe Attachments"=dword:00000000 key
Thats what it set's in the reg.

[HyDeNCiTy]

Hey Mac... I was not able to edit the registry. It tells me that the file is not a Reg file. I followed ur instructions and I could not do it. please let me know what else I can do.
