You would be surprised, the number of users who complain because these
extensions (especially .lnk and .scr) are blocked.
In fact it was such a common problem among our (mostly non-IT) users, that we
ended up defaulting to NOT blocking executable extensions, though it can be
turned on per-domain.
I don't really like blocking simply on extension anyways - I ran into it
myself when trying to E-mail an HTML file without an extension (it was named
simply somedomain.com).
