Hotmail

i sent something to myself from school but hotmail wont let me accept it because it says its unsafe, is there away i can get this file?

No. If you send a file with certain extensions, hotmail, yahoo, etc. will permanantly block the attachment. I don't know if you can put it in a .zip and send it or not, but the original attachment is toast. My advice is burn it to disk. Or save it to a hosting site.

.zip wont work. you might be able to change the extension from .exe(for example) to .exe1. then send it, then change it back to .exe
If that doesnt work, try putting into a .rar or .7z archive.

I have compressed .exe files into a .rar before so that Gmail would allow me to attach it. However, I'm not sure if that will work on Hotmail.

If you have gmail, then use it. I had some troubles with hotmail before.

Another good way is to store it at a server, and download it.
