MORE INFORMATIONWARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk. To back up your Inbox Assistant rules, use Registry Editor to export the following appropriate registry key: Outlook Express Versions 4.0, 4.01
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Mail\Inbox Rules
Outlook Express Version 5NOTE: The procedure listed in this article is for backing up the rules on the same computer on which they are going to be restored. It is not for exporting rules from one computer to another. You cannot move the rules from one computer to another using this method because of the unique {Identity Number} subkey on each computer.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{Identity Number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules\Mail
To import the .reg file back into the registry, double-click it. If
Outlook Express is running when you import the .reg file, quit and then
start Outlook Express again for the changes to take effect.
