OutLook express in the registry

[pylorns]

Does anyone know where outlook express stores the path for your email directory in the registry? - specificlly in win2k registry

Run:regedit. Ctrl+F - find Outlook Express. I just tried it on NT 4 and it popped right up. Also going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Outlook Express brings up some reg settings.

your email is stored in your profile directory which can be found under documents and settings.

I know exactly where the profile is stored i am just looking for where it stores the information in the registry.

 

[Spiff]

it likely stores this under "users". each tree you see there with the long numbers represents a different user profile. look for outlook there or look for the profile path and you'll eventually find the branch you're looking for.

corrected typo (patch --> path)

Go to www.sysinternals.com and get Regmon. Start Regmon then start Outlook.
