Default Locating Signature file

Signatures is located in the registry.

1.. 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

OE supports 2 types of signatures:

1) TEXT which is stored in the registry
2) External FILE of your choosing.

You are going to want to use the second option. Look at Tools,
Options, Signatures.

Thanks for your answer, however the problem is that quipsig wants the
location of the file during the install process-and there is no file that
corresponds to the request.......this comes up in a search, but when I try to
browse for it in the Quipsig window during install it is not
there..........what am I missing here? thanks again...................B

OE has its limitations, of course, but what type of signature are you trying
to create with Quipsig?

Well Quipsig is a little program that resides in signature, and watches the
send file, and randomly places a new quip in ones sig block with every new
message...great little program if I can get it to work in OE(S)...........B

Well, from what I found at their site:

Note: Before installing QuipSig, you should make note of the name and
location of the signature file your email program uses. If you have no
signature file, you can create a blank file in Notepad, then configure both
your email program and QuipSig to use that file.

I would suggest you use their Contact Us before you continue. If they are
suggesting you move the OE Message Store to Notepad, or another file, that
just doesn't make sense to me.

What you need to do is
- Create a simple text file with any text in it. Use Notepad
- Then in OE specify that file as your signature.
- Then tell quipsig to use that file.

I don't know if the program is compatible with OE, but you should be
able to find out by doing the above.
