Re: Where can I find information on backing up rules relevant to OE 6 (knowledge base only covers up

[Hubert Earl]

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for the prompt response.

> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
> Express\5.0\Rules\Mail and News

I've used this registry file in the past (but I'd forgotten where it was,
since I'd lost the info I had on it. However, when I used it, my rules
settings reappeared after my reformat, but somehow had become deactivated
(with a red 'x' next to each), and I had to go to Message Rules and
reactivate each rule manually. Since I belong to many mailing lists and so
have quite a lot of rules, is there any way to backup and automatically
restore rules to full functionality without having to reactivate each
manually?
