allow unsafe file types to be shared

Hi,
I have installed WLM 8 (build 8.0.0812) german.

When I move an unsave file (.exe) to a shared folder an exclamation point
appears over the icon for the file and the file will be blocked.
The Automatically reject file transfers for known unsafe file types check
box is cleared, the install button for windows live safety scanner ist
greyed out.
extfix.reg doesn't help.
How can I enable sharing unsave files?

TOM

Sorry, not an exclamation point, a red circle with a white cross inside.
The tooltip explains: "Diese Datei wurde blockiert, weil diese Dateiart
nicht freigegeben werden kann" (sorry german)

Greetings,

Unfortunately none of the hacks you'll find by searching work with Sharing Folders.
Executables are specifically blocked and you cannot unblock them.
