How to overcome "Windows has blocked access to these files to help protect your computer"

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I get this all the time from my technicians. This has nothing to do
with your email client, (Outlook, Outlook Express). It has to do with
the Security Center for XP, Service pack 2. You cannot turn off this
option for good, but you can open blocked items one at a time. Here is
how.

1. Open the email with the attachment.
2. Right click the attachment and choose Copy.
3. Get back to the Desktop, right-click and choose Paste.
4. On the pasted attachment, right click and choose Properties.
5. Ayt the bottom of the page, there will be an option for unblocking
the program.

This works with zipped files as well as batch, EXE's, DLL's, etc. '

Hope this helps,
