Express ClickYes. Get rid of annoying Outlook messages.

Do you get this annoying message when you're launching your email merge, address book search or email notification program or a PDA synchronization tool?

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook

Or this one when you're trying to send a catalogue to your customers using your bulk emailing software?

A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf

Don't panic. This is new Outlook security features introduced in Outlook 2000 (SR2 and newer), and installed by default with Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2003. On the on hand this helps guard against most viruses that are spread via attachments to email messages as well as protects users from worm viruses that replicate through Microsoft Outlook. But on the other hand this 'improvement' beget a lot of problems for the third-party software using Outlook for sending emails.

There are some ways to stop these annoying messages. But the simplest one is to download and install Express ClickYes, a tiny freeware utility that will click the Yes button on your behalf.

Express ClickYes v1.2 is compatible with:

Outlook 2003
Outlook 2002 (SP1, SP2 and SP3)
Outlook 2000 (SP1+SR1, SP2, SP3)

Express ClickYes accurately defines Microsoft Outlook's security prompts and clicks the Yes button only for these dialog boxes. It doesn't affect any other windows having Yes buttons.

ClickYes doesn't work with Outlook Express. There is an appropriate option in the Outlook's Express settings. To turn the prompts off, click Options on the menu, switch to the Security tab, and clear the Warn me when other applications try to send mail as me checkbox. For additional information, look at the screenshot below.

Express ClickYes v1.2 (Freeware) (updated on July 28, 2005)

Express ClickYes is a tiny program that runs in the system tray and automatically clicks the Yes button for the Outlook security prompt, that asks you to confirm mail sending from third party applications or access to Outlook's address book.

You can suspend or activate Express ClickYes by double-clicking its icon in the taskbar notification area (system tray). Developers can automate its behavior by sending special messages via standard Windows API functions or command line parameters.

If you are using a program that causes Outlook to generate the prompt, you will find this tiny tool very handy.
