In Windows 9x, it is something like (from memory): Settings - Software -
Windows Setup - Accessories. Scroll down and deactivate the beast.

Of course, in Micro***ts default setting, it is enabled, and Outlook in its
default state automatically runs all incoming Windows scripts. Then the
hysterial screaming starts about "virus", when in fact there is only a
Windows program that gets executed automatically by idiotic software
settings.
