I am running Windows XP Pro and using Outlook Express for my email. Whenever someone sends me an email with an attachment I am not able to open it. In the column where the attachment is it states "OE has removed access to unsafe files." Where do I need to go to change the security on this so attachments are able to be received?

Thanks

I don't run Outlook, but I have fixed this for several folks, it's a security option. Sorry I can't remember exactly where it is, but it's in the Options menu. With one of the recent patches, Microsoft apparently figured that we can't be trusted to download attachments.

Like I said, I've done this for clients, but I have to have Outlook in front of me to find it.

It was never a problem as long as they have a decent virus scanner checking incoming attachments, which I always make sure is happening.
