Yesterday my friend SMS me to send an installer (executable) file via email. So I use Gmail as my primary email account and attached the file. But when I want to send the email, Gmail warned me that it does not allow any executable file send from Gmail. I’m sure this is regarding of the security issues. So how I can send the executable file? Here is the trick. :d
Ok let say the file that you want to send name is Executable.

-
Go to Folder Options (My Computer > Tools > Folder Options)
-
In View tab, uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types“.

And the file will look like this
-
Then rename the extension .exe with other extension like .jpg. Windows will prompt a warning message, just click “Ok”. The file icon will be changed to .jpg icon and now your executable file is in .jpg format.

-
Send the file to the receipent.
-
After the receipent recieve the file, ask them to rename the extension file with .exe or it will not work.
Note: I have try this many times in Gmail and it works and I’m sure this trick also works in other email services. Because you send an image file not executable file. :p
