Quick overview:
Outlook XP, welches Teil des Office XP Paketes ist, sperrt gewisse E-Mail Anhänge, welche möglicherweise Viren enthalten können. Leider erweist sich dieses Feature oftmals als lästig, wenn Sie Dateien von Kollegen geschickt bekommen und diese garantiert virenfrei sind.
Weiter unten finden sie eine Liste sämtlicher Dateiendungen, die gesperrt wurden. Bislang musste man mit Tricks diesen Umstand umgehen, indem man z.B. die Datei als ZIP komprimiert hat, doch auf Dauer gesehen ist das kein Kompromiss. Um diese Blockade vollständig ausser Kraft zu setzen gehen sie folgendermaßen vor.
1. Click here to download a small registry file. Make a note of the path, open it and double-click on the file Outlook98ME.reg.
2. After confirming twice, the values are entered in the Windows registry. Outlook will now allow all attachments.
Bestimmte Anhänge manuell blockieren
Falls sie aber nun doch einige Anhänge blockieren möchten, so können sie das ab sofort so erledigen:
1. In the Start menu, open Run and enter regedit followed by Enter in the command line. The Windows Registry Editor appears, which can be used in the same way as Explorer.
2. Now navigate through the keys (folders) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\S oftware\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security and double-click on the value Level1Remove in the right-hand pane.
3. In the small window that appears, there is a line that contains all permitted attachments.
4. To block a particular file type, simply select and delete it. The deleted one will then be blocked.
