Q: Cannot open attachments (ie. .exe attachments) A: Outlook has a security feature that blocks attachments it considers to be unsafe.
These include the file extensions .exe, .pif etc. You may receive the following warning message:
Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: [...]
These are usually the file extensions used by viruses and hence the reason why outlook blocks them. The attachment
files are not deleted, they still exist in the message. There is an article written by Microsoft as to what you can
do if you have to read the attachment, but we do not recommend this! Pay extra special attention to the warning on
Microsoft's page. I repeat, we do not recommend editing the registry. Apart from editing the registry, you can get
the sender of the email to rename the file into another extension and when you receive the email, simply rename
it back into the original extension (ie. back into .exe). But again this is not recommended because of the potential
of viruses. Often, a virus can send an email from someone's email client to people in their address book (ie. you).
So, although you may know the person, it may be a virus which has sent you the message. The golden rule is -
if unsure, delete it. |
