Depends on what version of office you are using but there is
deffinately a way to do this. It involves a registry change.
(cut and paste from the Microsoft site)
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from
using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
Important Before you can customize the attachment security behavior in
Outlook 2000 SR1 and Microsoft Outlook 2000 SR1a, you must first apply
either Microsoft Office 2000 Service Pack 2 or Microsoft Office 2000
Service Pack 3.1. Quit Outlook if it is running.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
4. Verify that the following registry key for your version of Outlook
exists. If it does, go to step 5.
Microsoft Outlook 2000:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Secu rity
Microsoft Outlook 2002:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Sec urity
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Sec urity
If the registry key does not exist, create it. To create the registry
key, locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft
a. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
b. Type Office, and then press ENTER.
c. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
d. Type 11.0, and then press ENTER.
Note This is the correct name if you are using Outlook 2003. If you are
using Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2002, you will have to type "9.0" or
"10.0", respectively.
e. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
f. Type Outlook, and then press ENTER.
g. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
h. Type Security, and then press ENTER.
5. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click String Value.
6. Type the following name for the new value:
Level1Remove
7. Press ENTER.
8. Right-click the new string value name, and then click Modify.
9. Type the file name extension of the file type that you want to open
in Outlook. For example:
..exe
To specify multiple file types, use the following format:
..exe;.com
10. Click OK.
11. Quit Registry Editor.
12. Restart your computer.
When you start Outlook, you can open the file types that you specified
in the registry.
Note We recommend that you enable only the file types that you require.
If you rarely receive a particular file type, we recommend that you
give Outlook temporary access to the file type that is in question and
then reconfigure Outlook to block the file type by undoing the changes
to registry.
For additional information about how you can configure Outlook to block
attachment file name extensions that Outlook does not block by default,
click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

name
Hope it helps

Heh. You said "Outlook" in your subject line, and you got assistance for MS
Outlook. Was that your intention? MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express are two
completely different programs; learn to tell them apart!
In MSOE you must be certain that you take certain steps to ensure that it
won't invite unfriendly action without your consent. Make sure that you keep
MSOE set in the "Restricted sites" zone; it is a setting on the "Security"
tab in MSOE Tools > Options, but it associates with the MS Internet Explorer
security settings. Once you have safe handling techniques in place, try
this:
Tools > Options > Security, and remove the check from "Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus". Be
sure that you understand the ramifications of that change, fully understand
them; you are now assuming responsibility upon yourself to ensure that you
don't get infected by a viral email message.
Funny the things that you can find just by exploring the menus...
