I get "Outlook blocked access to the following potential unsafe attachment:
Halloween.exe". I know this file is safe I made it myself. How do I get
Outlook 2007 to open my file?

Thanks for any help.

It ain't easy. If you're part of an Excange network, the admins can
alter that behavior if they want. If you're standalone, you have to
hack at the registry:

Save the file and execute it from the saved location?

What does your antivirus say ?

It won't let me save it. It is totally blocked. The only notice I get is
highlighted saying it has been blocked because of potential unsafe attachment.

Re: Outlook 2007

My Anti Virus does not say anything. The notice is in my Outlook 2007 e-mail
program.

Re: Outlook 2007

With Outlook 2007 open, Click Tools, Trust Center - make your
changes to attachment handling there.

Re: Outlook 2007

It was not easy I did have to "hack at the registry" but I printed out the
instructions and followed step by step. I still can not open the exe. files,
but at least now I have the option to save them to my desktop and I am able
to open them from there.

Thanks for the detailed web site. This did the trick.

Re: Outlook 2007

I have used this for years with Outlook and it works great. After you
install just launch Outlook and go to Tools/Options/Attachment Security
Options. You may have to change your registry back to the original settings
before you install.

Good Luck
