| Problem: Every time I try to
send a self-extracting zip file, or self-running PowerPoint
presentation, eFax image, etc., Otlook 2002 automatically
DELETES the .exe file attachment. I have not found any
security setting that allows me to get past this obnoxious
feature! Question: What Security setting, or other change,
do I need to make in order to be able to send .exe file
attachments with Emails in Outlook 2002? Thank you, WEB7
There are two approaches to this. The first is something
of a bodge - change the extension, and tell the receiver
to change it back to .exe. (change run.exe run run.2exe,
for example). The second is more elegant, and involves
trying to persuade Outlook to behave more sensibly: This
web page explains a number of options to reduce the security
levels in Outlook 2002: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm#ol2002
Search strategy: I searched the Archives of the (very
useful) Woody's Office Watch, http://www.woodyswatch.com/
. After a number of unsuccessful attempts (using
words such as .exe, outlook, send, attachments), I finally
used "Draconian", which did the trick. The search page
is here: http://www.woodyswatch.com/office/archives.asp
I hope that this leads to a solution to your problem.
if not, please feel free to request clarification. |
