Outlook security levels

[Dave]

I have office xp and use office outlook to receive my e-mails. However, some
of the attachments sent to me are blocked by my security settings. Can
anyone tell me how to change these settings? I have searched in all the
internet options (security) without success. Are they somewhere in word? Can
anyone help!!

Tks

Dave

It's a drag I know. I'm trying to learn everybody to send those kind of
files in a compressed format (and with succes! some companies have caved as
well) as it IS a lot safer. Anyway, to compromise your security you can read
this KB article;

Be wise in your decission! FWIW I only edit the reg to only allow that
specific kind of attachments when I actually receive one and change it back
immediately after I saved the file and got it out of my inbox.

attachments off.
