Outlook 2003 categories

[Jonas]

Hi

I have written a little macro that sets the outlook categories in the
registry.
It works fine with OL 2000 and XP, but on Outlook 2003 it seems that the
place has changed where the categories are saved.

Does anyone know where the categories of OL 2003 are saved ?

Regards

Jonas

Outlook 2000 uses ANSI strings for custom categories, Outlook 2002 and 2003
use Unicode strings. So the registry value would be REG_SZ in Outlook 2000
and REG_BINARY for Outlook 2002 and 2003.

The location of the MasterList value depends on the Outlook version:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Categories\MasterList. Substitute
10.0 for Outlook 2002 and 11.0 for Outlook 2003.
