Hi guys

one of my old bosses is having an issue where attachments are being deleted by outlook (not sure of version yet) before he can open them. they are legit files for his business.

i am seeing him on the way home and im sure i have had to do this for him before, but struggling to find any help apart from a regedit that i dont think worked last time (his laptop was in for refurb and we have lost what i did last time)

any ideas? just so im not there frantically googling looking like a fool.

only seems to be his machine that does this. the email setup on there is i think Yahoo/BT. surely there is just a section where it should list the allowable file extensions. sure, block them by default but allow us to modify that. especially since they are, with him, some form of CAD drawings if i recall.

cheers guys
 
cheers mate. thats all i have found myself anyway. lets hope it works!

as i say, ive never seen this before... apart from his laptop about a year ago... annoying you have to result in regedits though. should be a basic option in the security somewhere
