So I got this error when a developer was emailing me a js file:
"Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments…"
Solution (from: sitepoint):
1. Close Outlook
2. Run regedit.exe
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOfficeXX.XOutlookSecurity
Where XX.X indicates your version of Outlook:
- 14.0 for Microsoft Office 2010
- 12.0 for Microsoft Office 2007
- 11.0 for Microsoft Office 2003
- 10.0 for Microsoft Office 2002
- 9.0 for Microsoft Office 2000
3. Create a new value
Create a new string value key in that location named:
Level1Remove
4. Choose your ‘safe’ file types
Edit the key and enter a list of attachment extensions you want to unblock. Each should start with a period and be separated with a semi-colon. For example…
To unblock JavaScript files only, enter:
.js
To unblock JavaScript, VBScript, and exe files, enter:
.js;.vbs;.exe
Click OK to save the value then exit regedit.
5. Restart Outlook
The attachment should be magically unblocked. Try rebooting if that’s not the case.
