There are times when I want to send out a .reg file to my fellow workers,
and this is one of the file types that Outlook blocks. In these cases I
simply rename the file to regkey.regDELETE and tell the recipient to rename
the file deleting the DELETE. This allows the attachment to get through, and
assures I meant to send the file not some virus or Trojan on my machine so
they're pretty safe executing the file once they've renamed it.

I think more importantly, why do you want to allow an attachment that if a
user clicks on it could:

 

1. Send itself to everyone is your address book.

2. Send all your personal data to somewhere.

3. Use your computer for attacks.

4. Control your computer.

5. Wipe out your data.

6. Etc.

Hi,

I have E2K, SP3, my outlook XP users get some of their attachments blocked.
They get a message that outlook has blocked it.  They are .VBS;  I did not
do anything to cause this.  How do I unblock or change settings in either
Exchange server or Outlook client.

Thanks.
