While sending an email with exe, dll, ocx, com or bat file
as attachment in gmail, are you getting error message like below:
"This is an executable file. For security reasons, Gmail does not allow you to send this type of file."Don't worry. Here is a method by which you send any type of file in your gmail.
1. Open your
My computer. On the top menu beside file, edit and view, you can find
Tools. Now go to
Folder Options in it. A window will pop up.
2. In that window, click on the
View tab. Now find
Hide extensions for known file types and
uncheck it. Now click Ok.
3. Go to the folder containing the .exe file or some other file which is to be sent over the Gmail. Change the file extension of the file to other extensions which Gmail allows like
.jpeg or .GIF [e.g. If the file program.exe is to be sent, rename it to program.jpeg] and attach and send the file.If you have a large file, do the above steps and then Zip it. You can't send just by zipping, as gmail scans extensions in zip files also.
4. At the recievers end, after downloading the file, ask them to get it renamed again to the original file extension.
It's very simple and helpful tips.
