re: Question about 'Force Outlook to allow EXE and MDB file attachments' Sunday, January 20, 2008 at 12:47 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (5166 messages posted) This is odd because a "normal" Outlook installation will always create the "Outlook" keys you are looking for. I'd approach it like this: 1. Backup your Registry. 2. have a thorough search for keys containing "outlook". 3. If no joy, backup your outlook.pst file and re-install Outlook. 4. If still no joy, create the key and value you need as per this I am doubtful about step 4. because it sounds as if there may be something deeper wrong with your installation, but as long as you have backed up the Registry you will be able to recover if necessary. I recommend ERUNT for system backups by the way.
