Re: Security Problem



Greetings Dan,

Yes this is by design. To fix this, download and run the following .reg file:

You'll need to restart Messenger to see the change.

When a friend tries to send me an MP3 file via MSN, it transfers, then when I
try to open it, I am told that it poses a security risk, and denies access to
the file. There is no option I can see to disable this, and also no override
option on the dialogue box. How do I gain access to these files? Especially
as I have had to pay for the bandwidth to receive them - several people have
tried to send me various files with no luck.

I'm running WinXP Home with SP2, and MSN build 7.5.0311

Thanks

Dan Butcher
