OUAU should now work for all Office versions, and you can select the Office version (if for some reason you have partial Office installations) and it will reread and write the appropriate registry-entry.

Changes

  • Ability to change Office version by using the radiobuttons
  • Added link to this blog in context-menu

To do

  • Close the application when unsupported Office version is detected (detection and errormessage is already in place)

I tried ouau here at work, and we’re using Office 2002/XP. It finds the correct Office version, I’m able to make changes to the blocked extensions, which I can verify by restarting the program: it finds the new settings. But the new registry-setting resort no effect: right-click and send-to-mail-recipient of a unblocked extension (e.g. .EXE) still results in Outlook saying that the attachments are potentially unsafe. What’s going on here? Something to do with (group)policies?

Update: I think I already know: Exchange administrators can add/remove Level 1 and/or Level 2 extensions within the Exchange-server settings. This can not be overruled by the Outlookclient. So, I guess I’ll have to find another way to test other Office versions.

Another update to OUAU, now version 1.0.5.0.

Changes:

  • Detection of Office 2000
  • Detection of Office 2002/XP
  • Detection of Office 2003

To do:

  • When user selects an Office version other than detected, modify the correct registry-entries, instead of detected version
  • Close the application when unsupported Office version is detected (detection and errormessage is already in place)

Tim heeft ouau getest, en zegt dat het niet werkt. Hij heeft Office 2002 (XP). In TweakXP is wel te zien dat alle extensies zijn vrijgegeven. Klopt helemaal Tim, ouau werkt op dit moment alleen maar met Office 2003 (interne versie 11.0). Ik zal zo snel mogelijk zorgen dat alle Office versies vanaf 2000 werken.

Zojuist even een Outlook Unsafe Attachments Unblocker gemaakt. Dat gezeur van Outlook dat ‘ie sommige files unsafe vindt om te versturen. Dat maak ik zelf nog wel uit.
