I have lost a couple of files because Outlook will not allow through .exe file attachments. Is there any way I can find and retrieve them. WinXP, Outlook 2002.
 
Not sure about WINXP but the following registry edit works on 2000, you can have a look and see if it is any use.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security]
"checkadminsettings"=dword:00000001

Sorry, I think my last post was nonsense, try lookin at Q290497 on support.microsoft.com
 
This works

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security]
"Level1Remove"=".exe;.com;.url;.bat"

Add any other extensions you also want access too.
