Where is the OE blocked senders list stored? I need to sort it and print it
and share it with my friends. How can I make a copy of it and do the above?

Look under Tools/Message Rules. You'll see the list there, but I don't
think you'll have much luck sorting and printing it (unless someone else
knows how).

Why answer the question when you don't know the answer unless you are a troll.

Export your blocked sender list from the registry as "blocked senders.reg"

Close OE and click Start|Run and type
regedit. In Regedit, navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Block Senders

and export the entire key as "blocked senders.reg" and save it to the root
directory of your hard drive. Then open a command window by typing on the
Start/Run line (depending on your OS as below):

command (W95-WinMe) or
cmd (Win2000/XP) and then type in the window:

C:\find "@" "blocked senders.reg" | sort

You will then get a text listing of all of your blocked senders that you can
copy/paste into Notepad.

Hi,

If the list is not too long couldn't you just press Print Screen ("Prt
Scrn") then START | ALL PROGRAMS | ACCESSORIES | PAINT and PASTE it in
there | crop the Block Senders pane | EDIT | COPY TO | copy to My Pictures
and print it from there?

Even if it is too long, you repeat the above with the bit left
over..........

Good Luck.
Andy I.

Thanks Jim. This is exactly the answer I was looking for. It looks like that
I can also use a file redirect symbol to send the output to a file that I can
read with Notepad which has been the common method of getting a text file of
a directory. That's great thanks. I could even use this method from VB by
creating and then executing a batch file. What about using the GetAllRegistry
or an API function to read the registry from VB? The examples posted in the
VB6 setup CDs do not function with VB6 SP6.

You could ask in a VB newsgroup. I gave up programming a long time ago when
we moved away from the dot [.] commands while using databases. But I can
still remember how to work from a command line.

After a few extra lines of script to get the correct {GUID} (don't know if a
wild character can be used instead) using

C:\find "@" "blocked senders.reg" | sort "c:\blocked senders list.txt"

followed by:

notepad "c:\blocked senders list.txt"

automates the whole process meanign that doing it in VB will be a snap.

Using reg instead of regedit provides a few more options.
