Default Cloning message rules?

Same place is irrelevenant. Is the GUID exactly the same? If so, adding
them back to the registry should have worked.

These links should shed some light on where to go now.

Hi...

I exported message rules from the registry before changing to another
drive with an ealier installation of XP. Then I imported messages and
address book.

Then I restored the message rules to the registry. The store folder is in
exactly the same place on the new installation as the old, with the same
Identity. But the message rules aren't showing up at all.

What have I done wrong? Thanks.



Thanks Bruce. I'll check out those links tomorrow.

If by GUID you are referring to the folder under Identities, yes it is the
same. I am actually working with the same XP installation, but with a
back-up from almost a year ago while it was still pretty fresh. The digital
version of the Fountain of Youth.

The old one was getting too fat and lazy (like me).
