You don't need to manually edit the registry - the register_outlook_addin.exe application will do this for you. (It's no use for you right now, but when 1.1 is finished, registering for all users will be an option in the regular installer). > Can someone give me some assistance To register SpamBayes in this way, you must log on as a user with permissions to modify the system registry (e.g. as Administrator), then execute the command: "c:\Program Files\SpamBayes\bin\outlook_addin_register.exe" hkey_local_machine Note that you'll need to change the path if you installed SpamBayes somewhere else. Note also that the double-quotes in the above command are significant (and should be typed). Because "Program Files" has a space in it, you must surround the entire command name with quotes. To execute the command, either open up a Command Prompt window, or type the command in the Windows "Run" dialog (Windows-R). If you check the SpamBayes log file (in the Windows temp directory) after performing such an install, you should see the following messages: Registered: SpamBayes.OutlookAddin Registration complete. Registration (in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) complete. Note the last line, which does not exist when registration is performed only for the current user. Once you have performed this registration, the Addin will be available for all users (note that it will no longer appear in Outlook's COM-Addin list).
