Changing files allowed in Outlook

Please refer to the MSDN article "OL2000: Attachment Security Features Included in Service Release 1/1a", which is located at:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q259/2/28.ASP

If you have also installed the "Outlook E-mail Security Update", you may be unable to make any changes. Refer to the following articles:

OL2000: Information About the Outlook E-mail Security Update
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q262/6/31.ASP

--AND--

Outlook 2000 SR-1 Update: E-mail Security

Unfortunately, once the "E-mail Security" update is installed:

"The update is an integral part of the Outlook installation. If you want to uninstall the update, you must completely uninstall the software that Outlook was installed from. For example, if Outlook was installed as part of Microsoft Office Premium Edition, you must uninstall and then reinstall Microsoft Office Premium Edition to uninstall the update; you cannot just uninstall and then reinstall Outlook."
(quoted from Q262631...)

(If the URLs above do not work, locate and remove any spaces inserted by the TechRepublic system.)

In short, if you haven't installed the "E-mail Security" update, and you can make changes as described in the first article.

If you *have* installed it, you have got a bit of work to do...

Hope this helps...
