I use MSN for email ... for some reason whenever I try to attach the file, it says Access to the following potentially unsafe attachments has been blocked. SLIDESHOW.exe.Please, if anyone could help, I would really appreciate it!Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickles Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Photomom,I would suggest that you zip it, before attaching. A lot of services will not attach or accept a *.exe do to the worry of viruses.krn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRR Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 .EXE files are viewed by many softwares as dangerous and won't send/receive them.You could zip the file.But most files are WAY to big to e-mail.There are several services you could use:www.dropload.com (it is free, but you can only send your file to one e-mail address at a time)www.yousendit.com (It is also free and will allow many e-mail addresses. The receipients have to put up with POP UPs though during the download)www.streamload.com (It is an excellent service for sending large files, plus storing your backups, but it is not free)You should also be aware that UPLOADING is very much slower than DOWNLOADING !!! (About 4 times slower) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 You could also just change the extension to .ex (drop the final e) and tell the party you email it to that they can rename it to "filename.exe".Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveG Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Zipped Folder:If you are using Windows XP you can right click just about anywhere and create a "new" - " compressed (zipped) folder" - then just drag and drop your exe file onto the new folder and it is done.

Ronniebootwest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I am not sure, but I think that AOL automatically 'zips' all .exe files sent as email attachments.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
