Dian That was what I thought I could do, but I tried and it didn't work.

Search your hard drive for the file. It should be under c:\windows\application data\microsoft\outlook, I believe.

The filters themselves aren't particularly effective, and I thought I'd like to change some of the settings in the Junk & Adult senders rules, but there's no reference to them in the help file. The file filters.txt describes the way the filters work, but editing the text file does not actually work, so the actual filters must be held elsewhere I've searched the Registry, but there's nothing there. I've also searched through the files in the Office & Windows directories for files containing some of the text entries in the list. Am I missing something obvious, or is there no way for us to amend. ************************************** Colin McDonald colinmac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ************************************** ************************************************************* PLEASE READ!!!!
