Attachment Security warning

S

Stephanie

Couldn't find a similar post after searching so here
goes...

Whenever I click on an attachment (.lnk, .htm, .html,
etc.) I get an attachment security warning prompting me
to either "Save to Disk" or "Cancel" It's not even the
normal radio button prompt with the check box to remember
my choice.

Does anyone know of a reg workaround so I can open my
attachments without cluttering my desktop with links and
shortcuts??

Thank you!

From the description of the dialog, it sounds more like the old Outlook 2000
SR1 dialog, not the newer blocked attachment dialog, but without knowing the
version #, I can't be sure. It's also possible the attachment types were
added to level1remove, since they aren't ones normally blocked by the newer
security model.

BTW Brian, if it is the OL2000 dialog, then it hasn't been asked about
hundreds of time in recent months and someone unfamiliar with the dialog
would be hard pressed to find it using the communities search even googling
would likely bring up the security model in Ol2002/2003 with information
that doesn't apply to this problem.

Which is the case here... I viewed the slipstick
articles before posting and none of it seemed to apply
(thanks anyhow for the link Brian.) The file types ARE
in Level1Remove but I thought that just allowed them to
be sent and received? My version info is OL2002
(10.6515.6626) SP3 if that helps. I just find it a big
pain to have to save the files to the desktop before
viewing just about every single thing.

Level1Remove allows you to access the files - they are sent and received but
blocked otherwise. What file types do you have listed in Level1Remove?

I guess I'm stuck in a Catch-22. If they're not in
there, I can't receive them, and if they ARE in there, I
get that dang security prompt. :\

.html; .htm;

These three are not blocked file types.

BTW, the proper format is .vbs;.lnk;.exe;.cmd;.reg

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm#ol2002 for the proper
use of the reg hack and links to programs that will make the changes for you
and http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#attsec for a list of the
extensions that are blocked.

I recommend using attachment options from slovaktech.com to configure the
correct ones for level1remove (and only removing the ones you absolutely
need on a regular basis).
