New dangerous attachment filenames

[Julian Field]

Microsoft have apparently expanded their list of "High-risk file types"
with the release of Windows XP SP2. The new list of high-risk dangerous
attachments they have added are:
.ade
.adp
.app
.asp
.bas
.bat
.cer
.chm
.cmd
.com
.cpl
.crt
.csh
.exe
.fxp
.hlp
.hta
.inf
.ins
.isp
.its
.js
.jse
.ksh
.lnk
.mad
.maf
.mag
.mam
.maq
.mar
.mas
.mat
.mau
.mav
.maw
.mda
.mdb
.mde
.mdt
.mdw
.mdz
.msc
.msi
.msp
.mst
.ops
.pcd
.pif
.prf
.prg
.pst
.reg
.scf
.scr
.sct
.shb
.shs
.tmp
.url
.vb
.vbe
.vbs
.vsmacros
.vss
.vst
.vsw
.ws
.wsc
.wsf
.wsh

I have added what are apparently the worst of these to the default
filename.rules.conf file.
The new file is attached.
