Recieving Files from MSN that are "blocked" by Windows - RETRIEVAB

A friend of mind keeps trying to send me files over MSN, they're both mp3's
and stupid windows keeps blocking them. I'm trying to find out how to access
them and it's proving difficult. If anyone could help me that would be
fantastic

Have your friend zip the files and send them to you. When you get the files,
unzip them and listen to the music.

If you use Outlook Express,goto Tools-> Options -> Security
and uncheck "Do not allow ...." so you 'll unblock all blocked files

When you open the files,you may turn on the functions because it is more
than useful in preventing from worms/viruses infection
