You can turn off this behavior with the following steps (also included on the above website):

• Run RegEdit and go to Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security (change 10.0 to 9.0 for Outlook 2000 SP3)
• Under that Key, add a new string value name Level1Remote
• For the value for Level1Remove, enter a semicolon-delimited list of file extensions. For example, entering this: mdb;url would unblock Microsoft Access files and Internet shortcuts

If you are using this registry entry, a glance at Help | About Microsoft Outlook will show Security Mode: User Controlled above the license information.  If you prefer not to edit the registry directly, then go directly to the above site for further instructions.
