Either you have Outlook 2002 or you have updated Outlook 2000 to Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 1a with Security Patches. This is a new security enhancment to protect the desktop from maliscous code impersonating as a harmless link file.

Best advice save it to a local drive before opening.

Yeah you probably could hack the registry and the application DLL with a 3rd party tool to clear this. Check www.slipstick.com for various tools, but beware making these changes is not supported.
