Software
I recently applied a security update to my Outlook 2000. Now I'm not able to receive certain file types like exe, mdb, scr, etc.
How do I turn this security feature off or is their someway I can edit my registry to enable me to receive these and more of the file types that I use to be able to receive and open.

If you do not have an exchange server feeding your outlook you will have to remove the security patch to receive these file types. It usually shows up in add/remove programs, and if you take it off all offending file types will be enabled. Usuallywhen looking for exe or other file types that harbor virus code-- we ask the sending party to throw it into a zip file (which is allowed) and we know the file was meant for us.

Have a look here:

or browse through some of Woody's Office Watch archives at http://www.woodyswatch.com, that's how I found out NOT to install SP2!
