Finding out what outlook's default signature is?

[nickname]

With outlook 2003 email signatures are installed in:

%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures

Is there any way for the user to change this path? and if so how can i find
out what it has been changed to?

I need to be able to find out what the user's default signature is, from
what i have read this is set in the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\00000002\

in the registry value "New Signature" this is a hex value for example
"hex:66,00,73,00,61,00,00,00". How can I relate this to the files in the
signature directory?

Hi

The registry stored the hex format of a string.
e.g. 66,00,73,00,61,00,00,00 means fsa, That is to say it will try to find
the fsa in the Drive:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Signatures
