Outlook blocked access ...

[Nigel M]

I wanted to add a UR to a Calendar item, but when I opened it I got:
"Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments"

I've had this before in an email, and it's a PITA (I know the reasons
for it). How can I turn it off? I'm not using Exchange Server, just a
home PC with a POP3 mail account.

Version?? This is a security setting you can change in Tools, Options,
Security, Change auto download settings. More info in Help. Look up
"unblocking attachments."

Version??

Outlook 2003 with SP1

More info in Help. Look up "unblocking attachments."

This tells me *why* it has blocked them, not how to fix it (other than a
workaround). I'm a big boy now, I want total control ;-)

So essentially:

Create a value called Level1Remove in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security

with a value:

..ade;.adp;.app;.asp;.bas;.bat;.cer;.chm;.cmd;.com;.cpl;.crt;.csh;.exe;.fxp;.hlp;.hta;.inf;.ins;.isp;.its;.js;.jse;.ksh;.lnk;.mad;.maf;.mag;.mam;.maq;.mar;.mas;.mat;.mau;.mav;.maw;.mda;.mdb;.mde;.mdt;.mdw;.mdz;.msc;.msi;.msp;.mst;.ops;.pcd;.pif;.prf;.prg;.pst;.reg;.scf;.scr;.sct;.shb;.shs;.tmp;.url;.vb;.vbe;.vbs;.vsmacros;.vss;.vst;.vsw;.ws;.wsc;.wsf;.wsh;
