Hey Bebop,

There is a way to reduce the security of Outlook (through a registry hack) that will allow the access of executable files. The .exe file is there, it's just being blocked right now.

I'll post the instructions straight up and let you decide if you want to proceed.

Using Regedit, navigate to the following key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security

HCKU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER and I'm using Office 2003 so that's '11.0'. Yours could be different.

In the Security key, you'll need to create a new String Value called; "Level1Remove" (without the quotes)(that's a number one). The data to enter in this new string value should look like this;

.exe;.ini;.url;

And so on. Semi-colons to separate, no spaces.

I know that's technical and if all this appears to be gibberish, don't attempt it. I can always send you a *.reg file for you to enter but I would need more info about your config.
