How to upload / attach applications (.exe files) in gmail.

How many times we have tried to attach a .exe file in Gmail but couldn't!! Because of security issues, Gmail doesn't allow this. But what if you have to send your fiend a very useful application?? Read on.

There is a very simple trick in doing this :)

  • Go to the folder that contains the concerned .exe file.
  • Click Tools->Folder Options->View
  • There is an option "Hide extensions for known file types".
  • This is selected by default, deselect it.
  • Now go to that file. And rename it.
  • Change the .exe part with .mp3.
  • Now attach it to gmail. Gmail will treat the executable file as an mp3 file and consequently allow you to attach it.
  • After sending the file in mail, do just reverse. Rename the file replacing .mp3 with .exe.
