I was sent a ZIP file as an attachment in my Outlook Express email program but I can't open it. The error message I am getting is;
OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail:
How do I open this file when I can't even access it?
Joe Responds:
You will need to change your security setting in Outlook Express to allow access to ZIP files.
To do this, open your Outlook Express program and click on the TOOLS
drop-down menu, at the top. Then click on the OPTIONS choice. (See picture below)
This will open a window as shown below.
Click on the SECURITY tab at the top of that window.
Then simply uncheck the box that says,
Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus
(see RED arrow).
Finish by clicking the APPLY button, and then click the OKAY button and
you're done! You should now have access to ZIP files sent as attachment to your
Outlook Express emails.
