Hi,

I am currently working on a application that backups MS Outlook. It has
to save all messages, settings, accounts.
I can backup messages, accounts and most settings.
The problem is that I don't know where Outlook saves the user defined
RULES. I have used Regmon and Filemon to try find them with no luck.
So please if anyone knows where it saves the RULES or know how I could
find out please help.

Thank you.

Why, when that tool may already exist. It does in Outlook 2002 and 2003.
It's called the Microsoft Office Save My Settings Wizard/

They're either on the server, if you're using Exchange, or in a hidden
folder in the PST otherwise, if I recall.

Well it's not a personal project so I don't get to decide what to do. I
just do it .
I am not using Exchange and I am already saving all files from the
folder the PST file is in.

This only shows how to backup through Outlook. I need to find the
places where Outlook saves it's data. I know where the mails ad other
data are saved but I don't know where RULES are saved.
