Cannot uncheck security option

[Daver]

I have Outlook Express 6.0. Under the Options, Security
tab I cannot uncheck the "Do not allow attachments to be
saved or opened that could potentially be a virus"
option. I understand that this is already a default
setting, but I want it unchecked. No matter what I do,
though, it stays greyed out. Does anyone have a solution
for this?

What is your operating system, and do you have local admin rights on it if
WinNT/2k/XP? On a domain with group policies in place?

Note -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).
