The attachments that I receive at work have been coming in zipped. My
associate receives the same message and the attachments are not zipped in her
email. What setting can I can I change in Outlook 2003 that will leave my
attachments in the manner in which they were sent?
You may have some 3rd-party add-in enabled in your Outlook that handles
this. You may want to disable all add-ins to see if this behavior
persists. You may also have file extensions display enabled whereas your
associate has hers disabled. You may also have your antispam solution
re-compress an attachment. You may also have your antivirus solution
interfering with the operation of Outlook 2003.
The following solution was originally posted by TechHit on
http://blog.techhit.com/5527-how-to-find-and-disable-outlook-2003-add-ins-and-plugins
My testing indicates it is valid.
========
1. COM Add-ins
To view and disable COM Add-ins in Outlook 2003, navigate to:
“Tools->Other->Advanced Options->COM Add-ins…†and uncheck the Add-ins
you do not need.
2. Add-in Manager
Navigate to “Tools->Options->Other->Advanced Options->Add-ins Manager…â€
and uncheck the Add-ins you do not need.
3. Registry Add-ins
In Outlook 2003, some Add-ins are not shown in the UI. You have to look
for them in the registry.
Run regedit*.
Navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ Outlook\Addinsâ€.
Look at all subkeys of Addins. Those are Add-ins you have installed. To
disable a particular Add-in, set its “LoadBehavior†key to 2.
* – as always be very careful while performing registry modifications.
Do not forget to restart Outlook after making these changes.
