Outlook Express blocks attachments by default.

I'd like to change the default to allow attachments.

In OutlookExpress, under tools\options\security

there is a checkbox entitled

'Do not allow attachments to be saved or openned that could potentially be a virus'

it is checked by default

Does anyone have a reg tweak to have this unchecked by default?

thanks, shark

That didnt give me an answer either so i created a regfile as follows:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\mail]
"Secure Safe Attachments"=dword:00000001
"Safe Attachments"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\mail]
"Secure Safe Attachments"=dword:00000001
"Safe Attachments"=dword:00000000

and THIS did solve my problem.

Thanks for the assistance.
