You're welcome. I suggest you get this freebie tool. With a simple click of
your mouse, everything in OE is backed up including the registry. Do it
daily.

Thanks for that, Bruce. BTW, all the keys were there for the original
list and I had hoped I could move them into the new Block Senders folder,
but it seems that Registry doesn`t work like that and I shall have to use
the long route.

Thanks again
Kate

The Blocked Senders registry key is damaged.

1.. Close OE and then In Regedit, navigate to this key:

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Identities
|--------{GUID}
|-----------Software
|--------------Microsoft
|-----------------Outlook Express
|--------------------5.0

where GUID is the Global Unique IDentifier for your Identity.

2.. Under that key, you will find the following sub-keys, among
others:

|-----------------------Block Senders
|-----------------------Rules
|-----------------------Signatures

Select the Block Senders Key and delete it. Blocked Senders will be
empty, but you can rebuild it now.

I recently installed then uninstalled IE7. Now I find that my Blocked
Senders list in OE6 has been de-populated and, if I add to it, the sender
will appear in the list as long as OE remains open. However, if I exit OE
and then return later, the entry has disappeared. Does anyone know how
to resolve this, please?
