Outlook: Allow unsafe attachments

For security reasons, unsafe attachments are blocked in Outlook. We'll tell you how you can still allow these attachments.

Allow unsafe attachments in Outlook

Note: This practical tip is based on Outlook 2010 under Windows 7.

1. Close Outlook and open the "Run" command using the Windows key and the input field.
2. Enter "regedit" here to open the registry editor.
3. Change to the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Office \ 14.0 \ Outlook \ Security". Please note: The entry "14.0" represents the installed Outlook version and can therefore differ.
4. Create a new key with the right mouse button under "New" and "String" and name it "Level1Remove"
5. Then double click on the name and enter ".mdb; .exe; .url" - the file extensions you want to open.
6. Restart your PC.
