  Question
  My copy of Outlook 2003 permanently blocks certain attachments types. I
can't receive a ".tmp" attachment. My mother also runs Outlook 2003. Her
copy allows ".tmp" attachments. We both run XP SP2 and have both updated
Outlook & Office. Why would there be a difference? Is there a registry key
that can be changed to unblock certain attachment types that I know are OK
and from trusted sources?

  Answer
  http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm should be helpful. (If
you don't like editing the registry, I highly suggest Ken Slovak's addin
mentioned on the link supplied.)

  hello I tried changing the registry but all the websites on my received
emails are still blocked. Do you have any other suggestions?
