I am unable to link a web page to an email I wish to send (in Internet Explorer: File>Send>Link by Email). When I go to the email in Outlook 2002 that opens I get the following message: "This message has not been sent. Outlook blocked access to the following unsafe Attachments:thread.url" Outlook 2002 will also not let me attach an .exe file to an email. How can I configure Outlook 2002 to allow me to attach such files to an email? Douglas

Outlook 2002 normally keeps you from opening attachments with extensions like .exe or .bat—files that can potentially be viruses. If you're confident that you (or your antivirus software) can spot suspicious files and ignore them—and you're comfortable editing the system Registry—you can tell Outlook to stop blocking file types.
Make sure Outlook isn't running, and choose Start | Run. Enter Regedit, choose OK, and in Regedit, navigate to HKEY_ CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security. Then choose Edit | New | String Value and name it Level1Remove. Right-click on Level1Remove, choose Modify, and for its value enter the list of extensions you want to allow, using semicolons to separate the items. Close Regedit and you're done. Outlook will stop blocking files with the extensions on the list.
