Hi again,
Glad that it worked fine. Another hack for what you need now. But be a bit
careful b'cause this involves messing up with the registry. But you already
have a backup, so no worry. And sorry for the long mail.
Steps on the old machine:
Locate and click the following registry subkeys (save each key to a
different file):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{Identity Number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Rules\Mail
On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.
In the Save In box, change the location to your desktop.
In the File Name box, type mail rules.reg (for the mail rules key), and then
click Save.
Steps on the new machine:
Open Outlook Express on the new computer, and complete the Internet
Connection Wizard to set up your Identity and account information. If you
had multiple identities in the previous installation, complete these steps
for each Identity.
To do this:
Open the rules.reg file that you created in notepad.
In the second line of text, select the text after
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identity\" that includes the braces {}. On the Edit menu,
click Copy to copy this text to the Clipboard.
On the Edit menu, click Replace. Click your pointer in the Find what box,
and then click Paste on the Edit menu to paste the text into that box. Do
not close the Notepad application until you are directed to do so later in
this process.
Start Registry Editor on the new computer and locate the
HKEY_Current_User\Identities folder. Double-click the User ID key in the
right pane, and then click the Value data.Copy that value to the Windows
Clipboard. Click Cancel to close the Edit String dialog box, and then close
Registry Editor.
In Notepad, click your point in the Replace with box and paste the text.
Click Replace All to replace all instances of the text strings.
Scroll through the entire list to make sure that all registry keys have the
new text string, rather than the old string. On the File menu, click Save,
and then close Notepad.
Double-click the rules.reg file, and then click Yes when you are prompted:
"Are you sure you want to..." to import the Rules to the registry for the
new computer.
Hope this works fine. Let me know the results And no flames if it fails,
b'cause this is Windoze :).
