Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / December 2007System Restore
I have "blocked sender" of a lot of spam in OE early today. If I restore the system to a date a week ago will the blocked senders be unblocked? Not with Windows system restore, can't say if your using a 3rd party app. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/getstarted/ballew_03may1 9.mspx  Signature---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 _________________________________________________________________________________ >I have "blocked sender" of a lot of spam in OE early today.

If I restore >the system to a date a week ago will the blocked senders be unblocked? Using Block Senders on spam is pretty useless. Most spammers keep changing addresses. Also, as the list gets large it starts slowing OE down. SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM www.fjsmjs.com Do not reply with email There is a separate newsgroup for OE. I think it is likely you will get useful advice from there. You can ask questions such as this here if you wish; I am not saying not to. I am saying that if you sincerely want answers you should use the appropriate newsgroup. >I have "blocked sender" of a lot of spam in OE early today.

Frank Saunders answered the question and knows a lot about Outlook Express having posted in those newsgroups for many years. ~~~~ Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > There is a separate newsgroup for OE.

So are you saying it is useless to use the appropriate newsgroup? If that is not what you are saying then the only value to saying what you said is just to be critical. > Frank Saunders answered the question and knows a lot about Outlook Express > having posted in those newsgroups for many years.

Cross-Posted to OE Newsgroups: John R, Yes the System Restore will restore the block senders list back to the way that it was for the previous week. Since it restores the system's registry back to where it was then. Before using the restore feature, with OE closed, consider backing up the current registry keys for OE message rules/block senders, saving it to a floppy disk, or another media, you will need to do this for each IDENTITY, if you use Multiple Identities in OE. Then after you do the system restore, delete the old OE registry keys, and merge the new OE registry keys. The Keys can be found after typing REGEDIT in the RUN command under the START button, located here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{LongID Number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Block Senders HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{LongID Number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules Again make sure after you do the restore, and OE closed, that you first delete these old registry keys, that are now present. Then you can click on the saved registry keys, and merge them back into the registry.

Your opinion obviously is that only one newsgroup is needed. That opinion will always be inconsistent with most other people. > Sam > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>>>> Enquire, plan and execute >>>>> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No Sam.
