    Use Search Advanced (1st 3 boxes ticked)  for    *.scr
    then right click on Screen Saver & select "Send To..."  > "Mail Recipient"
    ----------------
    If you want to send Zipped File , right click & Copy then Paste to Desktop
    right click & select  "Send To.." > " Compressed (zipped) Folder"  then right click on new Desktop Folder & select
    "Send To ..." > "Mail Recipient".
    -------------
    Edit:
    Don't know about any blocking list as just sent .SCR Attachment to my account & retrieved & opened .SCR  Attachment OK. ?
    I was using XP Pro though maybe XP Home is different.?

    The above link article seems to only refer to Outlook 2002.?

    The link I gave includes .scr in Level1 for Office Outlook 2002/XP (and in security update for OL2000), which is what I use. You can, of course exclude it by a registry edit. I thought Outlook Express uses the same list, maybe that's wrong.

    Just insert it as an attachment. As .scr files are on the blocking list for Outlook and Outlook Express by default (see

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290497&Product=ol2002 you (and the person you are sending it to) would need to disable that first.

    Alternatively, change the .scr to something else,e.g.  .sc1, or add a second extension, say.tmp, and tell the person you are sending it to to change it back again to plain .scr.

    JRosenfeld,

    Outlook Express allows sending .scr attachments without a problem. I tried sending one to myself. Although it was sent quite easily, the virus blocker of my ISP deleted it before I could receive it.

    Thanks for the information. However in that case, the receiver might have problems, so still best to disguise the file extension or zip before sending.
