How to Disable the Outlook Email Prompt in Windward System Five

When sending emails from Windward System Five through Microsoft Outlook, you may encounter a popup asking whether to “Allow” or “Deny” the email to be sent. This article explains why this occurs and how to resolve it by adjusting Outlook’s programmatic security settings.


Why Does the Email Prompt Appear in Outlook?

This prompt is triggered by Outlook’s programmatic security settings, which are designed to prevent unauthorized applications from sending emails on your behalf. If these settings are not properly configured, Outlook will display a security warning every time Windward System Five attempts to send an email.


Windward System Five Email Prompt Resolution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Cause

  • The prompt is caused by Outlook’s default security settings.
  • These settings may not be correctly configured to allow Windward System Five to send emails without user confirmation.

Step 2: Apply the Correct Registry Fix

  1. Download the Registry Fix Package
    Disable Programmatic Security - Click on this link containing the registry files.
  2. Extract the ZIP File
    Locate the downloaded ZIP file and extract its contents to a known location on your computer.
  3. Run the Appropriate .reg File
    - Identify your current version of Microsoft Outlook.
    - Run the .reg file that corresponds to your Outlook version

Important: Only run the file that matches your Outlook version to avoid incorrect registry changes.

*Please note: After applying the registry fix, restart both Outlook and Windward System Five to ensure the changes take effect.
