I'm assuming you created a blank.msg and saved it in the shellnew =
folder.
With that assumption, I suspect you typed the path wrong:
It's not:
C:\\Windows\ShellNew\Blank.msg...
but
C:\Windows\ShellNew\Blank.msg

Also, make sure Outlook is closed when you try it.

Hello everyone,

I followed the instructions of how to add a new email
message entry to the new menu for Outlook 2000. =20

1. Open a new email message
2. File > Save As > Blank.msg (saved in SHELLNEW)
3. Start > Run, type RegEdit, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,
scroll down the .msg extension
4.  Right click .msg, click ShellNew
5.  ...Create a New String Value named FileName
6.  Double-click the FileName
icon...C:\\Windows\ShellNew\Blank.msg...
7. click ok

When I tested it, I received the following error
message: The file may not exist, you may not have
persmission ot open it, or it may be open in another
program. =20

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
