Where is the master categories list stored in outlook 2007 ?

The user's Master Category List is held in the Windows registry in

versions before Outlook 2007, so you'd use registry methods, not Outlook
techniques. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.htm

I need to embed some code in my folder based application that will insert
custom Categories into the Outlook Master Categories List. The source

of the
custom Categories are a set of string records in an Excel Spread sheet.

I
know how to load the strings from the spreadsheet and have studied Sue
Mosher's technique in section 6.6 of her book that uses the Split/Join
functions and arrays, but that only inserts a category in place of an
existing category in an item...not in the Master Category List. Can

anyone
advise me or point me to how to do this? I can't find any references

on
program access or the object model for accessing the Master Category

List.
