Some of attachments like .exe or .doc files could be harmful as they may contain Trojan or Virus, So outlook blockes access to this kind of documents which are sent as attachment of emails. To remove this restriction and force outlook to not block this type of documents, do these:
- Close Outlook.
- Open the Registry Editor (Start->Run->regedit)
- If you using Office XP/2002, expand the branches to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Office\ 10.0\ Outlook\ Security
If you using Office 2003, expand the branches to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Office\ 11.0\ Outlook\ Security
If you using Office 2007, expand the branches to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Office\ 12.0\ Outlook\ Security
- Create a new string value by selecting New and then String Value from the Edit menu.
- Name the new value Level1Remove.
- 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.
- Click Ok and then close the Registry Editor when you're done.
