Location of the Outlook Express mail box..
HKEY_Current_User\ Software \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express Store
Root = " blah blah blah " This will show where the mails are placed
in the current profile.. To view other profile's Store Root they will need
to reboot and go to the same place.. Also just by doing a find for Store
Root will find this key.
Removing Content Advisors
Quickest way...... do a search in the registry for "RATINGS"
(without the quotes) delete folder )
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version
\ Polices \ Rating Delete key..
When you quit Internet Explorer, you may
not be prompted to disconnect .
This behavior can occur if the EnableAutodisconnect value in the registry
is set to a data value of 00 00 00 00. To resolve this issue, modify the
data value of the EnableAutodisconnect value in the following registry
key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion
\Internet Settings Change the data value to 01 00 00 00. After you
make this change and quit Registry Editor, restart your computer.

SPLITTER.VXD:
Error message windows cannot find splitter.vxd
This is the first file loaded when re-installing DUN. Win 95 will keep searching for the file but will not be able to find it You must have correct win95 cd or the cab files on your PC Go to control panel > add remove programmes.close all windows Go to start > run > type regedit click OK
Back up registry to C:\regback. Go to:
Session Module Invalid
Refresh comms >>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services\Remote Access\ authentication // highlight folder and delete.
Refresh DUN >> reboot and retry. // If this fails rename rasapi32.dll to rasapi32.xxx And refresh comms and dun again >> reboot and retry
Media INI file is missing
Backup registry / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services\Remote Access\authentication // highlight folder and delete Remove and reinstall comms and DUN or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ RemoteAccess \ Authentication \SMM_Files key, and examine the "path" string values in it's sub keys - ie. CSLIP, NWP, PPP, RAS and SLIP... each "path" string's value data should be "rasapi32.dll". If they aren't, change them to this. After a restart, everything should be working ok. If it isn't, rename rasapi32.dll to (e.g.) .old, (via dos if you have to) and refresh Communications...it's probably a good idea to delete all of the "remote access" key if you're forced to do this. Assuming the csmr has no LAN

Internet Explorer 4 stays offline or Navigation Cancelled Every time you start Internet Explorer, it may be started in Work Offline mode or you may receive the message "Navigation Canceled," and you may remain offline when you click Work Offline on the File menu to deselect it. Start, Run, regedit. Click Registry menu, select Export Registry file. Enter filename as c:\old.reg and save it. then set the GlobalUserOffline DWORD value to the value 0 in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ Internet Settings
NOTE: You must do this every time you are unable to disable Offline mode in
Problems importing registry files
If you have ever exported a set of Registry entries to a REG file, there's a good possibility you had trouble importing that same file back into the Registry. What happens is that you get a warning about tampering with the system, and the process terminates.
If this happens, your REG file contains the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Control \ProductOptions\ProductType.
When you try to import anything at all into the ProductOptions subkey, you get the aforementioned warning, and the import operation stops.
All you have to do to correct this situation is delete the ProductOptions subkey from your REG file.
TELL REGISTRY ABOUT THE NEW *.CAB FILES LOCATION In our last tip, we suggested that you may want to copy the 30 MB or so of Windows 95 CAB files from the Win95 folder on the installation CD to a folder on your local drive. (That way, you can install components or drivers without the CD.) We also mentioned that when you open the Control Panel, click Add/Remove Programs, and so on, to install components, you'll need to point Windows to the correct path of the local *.cab files. With one simple Registry change, you can avoid this extra step.
(Note: As always, back up your Registry files--System.dat and User.dat, hidden files in your Windows folder--before proceeding.)
Open the Registry Editor by selecting Start, Run, typing | regedit and clicking OK. Navigate your way to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup. In the right pane, next to SourcePath, you'll see the path D:\win95 (or the path from which you installed Windows originally). Right-click SourcePath, select Modify, and type the path of the folder to which you copied the CAB files on the Value Data line. Click OK, restart Windows 95, and the next time you attempt to install a component, Windows will know exactly where to look.
Clean the Registry
Microsoft gives you several utilities for checking and cleaning the Registry--that file storing important system attributes. These include:
* Regedit.exe--to view and edit the Registry
* Cfgback.exe--to make backups of the Registry
* Hwdiag.exe--to view detailed registry information about Emergency Recovery
Regedit and Cfgback are available on the Windows 95 CD- ROM and Microsoft's Web site. Hwdiag is on the Win95B and Internet Explorer 4 CD-ROM
