Okay, I rec. installed Office XP under a Windows ME O/S..I found soon after that by default Outlook 2002 will not allow a user to access e-mail attachements with severla extentions such as .EXE, .COM, .VBS etc..I did some research and discovered a possible registry fix for Windows 2000, this I do not belive will work with Win ME. Any ideas, I want to be able to rec. attachments.

There is a nice tool, which does some registry patch work and was written by Ken Slovak. This tool called "Attachment Options" can be downloaded from the http://www.slipstick.com/files/attopt.zip

You can find more information on this at the follwing addresses:
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002.htm#security and maybe also on
http://www.woodyswatch.com/office/archtemplate.asp?v5-n27

I have tested the above tool on relase build of Office XP and it works fine.

Cheers, Simon
