    F*$&# Microsoft and Idiot-Proofing! HELP!

    Ok, the newest "security" update for Outlook has disabled all attachments which are deemed "unsafe". This is a HUGE list of file types... notably .exe and .bat and .vbs, but also lots of other types.

    Not only does it warn you, it just removes them from your mail! You can't run them, you can't save them to your hard drive!

    AND THERE'S NO UNINSTALLER!

    HELP ME! ARRRRGH! I'd really prefer not to uninstall office entirely and then reinstall it, but it's looking like that might be my only choice!

    I'm the least you could do
    If only life were as easy as you
    I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed

            there seems to be a trend on this thread of giving no valuable information whatsoever :-)

            Not one to buck a trend, i will continue :-)

            I assume that you have gone to the options dialog from the tools menu, selected security, selected attachment security and then turned it off?

              Birdy,

              Yup. And I didn't expect any help. It was a rhetorical posting, made after I had already hit "go" on the Office Uninstaller.

              All is good now, that "patch" will never again grace my machine.
