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?

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.

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

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.

I have a tape drive and Yosemite`s Tapeware, so I back up new and
changed files (including Registry) everyday, plus, once a week, I back
up everything. Could I take a tape from before I installed IE7
(assuming it was that which damaged the Block Senders folder) and
replace/restore it from there?

You would have to look at the restore instructions for that program. I am
not familliar with it. With OEQB, you would either do a Restore, or open the
file the backup is in and click on the registry icon for that identity and
add it back to the registry.

You can try exporting the Block Senders key, deleting it, and importing from
the REG file made during export. This sometimes fixes it.

I shall make a note of these helpful hints in case I need them in
future. For now, I have already deleted the old Block Senders folders
from Registry, so will try and restore the keys from my backup tape.

Thanks to you both.
