Group Policy : Trust logic
for file attachments
At least
Microsoft Windows XP Professional with SP2
This policy
setting allows you to configure the logic that Windows uses to determine the
risk for file attachments. Preferring the file handler instructs Windows to use
the file handler data over the file type data. For example, trust notepad.exe,
but don't trust .txt files. Preferring the file type instructs Windows to use
the file type data over the file handler data. For example, trust .txt files,
regardless of the file handler. Using both the file handler and type data is
the most restrictive option. Windows chooses the more restrictive
recommendation which will cause users to see more trust prompts than choosing
the other options. If you enable this policy setting you can choose the order
in which Windows processes risk assessment data. If you disable this policy
Windows uses its default trust logic which prefers the file handler over the
file type. If you do not configure this policy setting Windows uses its default
trust logic which prefers the file handler over the file type.
