Hi,
I'm trying to work through the Outlook Security Settings issue that I have.
I have a com add-in that parses incoming emails and it prompts me that a
process is using my profile information. I created the CheckAdminSettings
DWORD value in my registry. I still get prompted. I asked on this
newsgroup and Sue Mosher said that I would need to add a form to the
Exchange Server.
I don't have an exchange server. If I was to get a Verisign Digital
Certificate to sign the DLL, would it still prompt me for my profile. Is
this a workaround. If not, is there a workaround if I'm not using an
Exchange Server?

Please Advise.
Rafael

CheckAdminSettings registry change only works if you have Exchange Server.
If you need to have a COM add-in parse incoming emails you will either have
to upgrade to Outlook 2003 (where COM add-ins are trusted by default), use
Redemption in your coding (www.dimastr.com/Redemption) or use Extended MAPI
in your coding.

A digital certificate won't help the matter. Sorry.

If you don't have an Exchange server, then the CheckAdminSettings registry
entry is irrelevant. Digitally signing the .dll is also irrelevant. The real
solution is to recode. See
