Outlook 2002 (but not Outlook 2000 or 98) uses a registry key to allow access to blocked attachments. To use this key: Run Regedit, go to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security Add STRING value: Level1Remove Then enter a semicolon-delimited list of file extensions. For example... mdb;url ...would unblock Microsoft Access files and Internet shortcuts. When using this registry entry, Help > About Microsoft Outlook will show Security Mode "User Controlled" above the license information.
