-- Information is available by reading the article below: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q329570 Briefly, you can use one of the following two methods: MODIFY THE UNSAFE FILE LIST To keep being protected by the Outlook Express file security feature but just remove certain file types from the Internet Explorer unsafe file list: NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. 1. In Control Panel, double-click Folder Options. 2. Click the File Types tab. 3. Click the file type that you want to allow, and then click Advanced. 4. Click to clear the "Confirm open after download" check box. NOTE: You cannot clear the Confirm open after download check box to allow certain file types. For example, by default, the Internet Explorer 6 unsafe file list includes .exe files, and you cannot remove this file type from the list. OR, TURN OFF THE OPTION TO USE THE UNSAFE FILE LIST To disable [and lose the protection of] the "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" security feature: 1. Start Outlook Express. 2. On the Tools menu, click Options. 3. Click the Security tab, click to clear the "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" check box under Virus Protection, and then click OK. You might want to try the first method first, since the second method disables this protection entirely.

Did an update on IE and now cannot open 95% of the attachments sent via Outlook Express. Went to online MS Knowledge Base and got directions about changing security settings, but I'm still getting the "OE has blocked access to the attachment" Does anybody out there know how to change the security settings so I can open all attachments? Thanks in advance. Jennifer jenn@headhunters.com
