Hi Heewon, I just did a quick search of Microsoft's web site and came up with this Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276511/ They talk about saving pieces of the registry but give the specifics of where to look. Hopefully this will do the trick for you. Best of luck.

Thank you for your info! I guess that wrestling with registry is quite scary, as you said. I hope to find a sort of "file" that may contain rules of OE. If that does not exit, I may just go ahead to make another set of rules in OE for a new PC. Hew! That's a tedious, time-consuming job, although it's doable.

One way might be to use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard that's present in Windows XP and hopefully some other versions. The wizard is generally used to migrate a bunch of your documents and settings from one computer to another, and it might try to move more stuff than you want it to. However, I would assume that those message rules would be among the kinds of things that might be moved. The other approach that might work, and this may be the scarier approach, is to find where the rules are located in your registry and save that section of the registry tree to a .reg file which you could then merge into the registry on the computer you want to move the rules to. I am pretty sure that Outlook Express stores message rules in the registry. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will set me straight.
