How to.. send executable or compression attachment using email

Hi all,

Today I'm gonna guide you on how to send an attachment using email and the attachment that you want to send is in *.exe format or any executable file such as *.bat, .dos or whatsoever.

These email unable to send your attachment because it prevents any executable file to be send which including compression file (*.rar / *.zip). The way you want to overcome this situation is by renaming the file you want to send, without any extension. Which is start from ".exe" or ".rar" for example except for documents file eg: Microsoft Office blaaa3..

Here I provide you some illustrate images so you can see the process.

Images 1.1


See images 1.1 above.. I've prepared a file to be send which the file type is WinRAR archieve ("FileToUpload.rar"). For those who do not have the extension appear at the end of the filename, please untick on box in Folder options.

For Windows XP user, click on "Tools --> Options". Go to "View" tab and search for "Hide extensions for known file types". For Windows Vista & 7 users, click on "Organize --> Folder search and options". Go to "View" tab and search for "Hide extensions for known file types".

 **** After you untick the box, click Apply & OK button. You will see the file with extension at the end of name

Right click on file and select "Rename" or simply click on file and press F2 on your keyboard..
The original file is "FileToUpload.rar" and you rename it without extension so it will become "FileToUpload"

Images 1.2
This image 1.2 shown the warning from windows which reminds you that the file you rename without an extension may become usable...but don't mind of it. Just click Yes button..

Images 1.3
See the images above which the result of renaming it without extension. The file become unidentified by windows. You may apply this to *.exe like I brief before.. So, after you complete doing this, write an email to your friend or colleague and attach with this file. And I believe the email will be able to send it.

But remember to notify the receiver to download or save the attachment with extensions that same as the originality from your PC..
