Windows XP automatically blocks .exe files in Outlook
Express. How can I get access to this file. I need the
program, and the version is uses.
 
Personally, I would ask the sender of any attachment that might be blocked
to zip the file first. A lot of mail admins block EXE files, as well as
other potentially dangerous file types, at the server/gateway level, so even
if you change your settings to get the exe file, it won't be as surefire in
general .... I personally block exe, pif, scr, cmd, as well as a bunch of
others on all my clients' mail servers.

However, that said, http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm may
help you.

Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup (Hint: Tools>Options>Security)
