I just changed my father-in-laws computer over to xp from winMe now his
outlook express will not let us open his attachments. He uses this computer
for embroidery and the files .DST and we get this OE warning unsafe
attachments we need these files for his embroidery machine these files are
for the design, number of stitches colour of threads etc... Need help Asap
need to know how I can set up his system to accept these attachments. This
would greatly be appreciated

Hi,

Click tools/options/security tab, uncheck "do not allow attachments....".

In the main Outlook Express window click Tools> Options. Go to the Security
