Default Attachment Access Please Help!!!!!!!

Outlook express is really starting to annoy me. I am
having trouble accessing my attachments because it removes
access to them. Does anybody know how to remove this
restriction beacause these are important documents and are
not unsafe.

Please Help!

Default Can't Uncheck "Do not allow attachments..." box

I'm having the same problem as Toby, however I am unable
to uncheck the "do not allow..." box. The entire option
appears grayed-out or disabled.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

See if this solution helps fix the problem:

1. Click Start-Run, type "regedit" (without quotations) in the Open
box and click OK.

2. Browse to this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express

3. From the right pane, search for a value named BlockExeAttachments.

4. If you find the BlockExeAttachments value, right click it and choose
Modify and delete the number in the Value data box.

5. Restart Outlook Express and try again.

What about when this can not be highlighted, and
therefore can not be unchecked?
