Step 1: Type "Regedit" in the search box on the taskbar, and click once it appears;
Step 2: Select "Yes" on the "User Account Control" pop-up that asks "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device";
Step 3: In the "Registry Editor" window, click "HKEY_CURRENT_USER";
Step 4: Follow the registry tree below to open the Outlook "Preferences" window if you have Microsoft Outlook 2016 installed;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences
– HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences for Outlook 2013;
– HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences for Outlook 2010;
Step 5: In the "Preferences" folder, open the file "MaximumAttachmentSize", or create one if you cannot find in the list. To create the file, please follow the steps below:
1. Click "Edit" in the "Registry Editor" window;
2. Click "New";
