Outlook Express Indentities

[William E. Corwin]

My motherboard crashed and had to be replaced. The HP recovery software had to be reinstalled. Now when I use outlook express it brings up an OLD identity (with old files I used a year ago).

My question is how do I point outlook express to the right Identity? I see it in the folder Identities but do not know how to make it point to it.

Thanks for your time and help in this matter.

The information is held in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities.

I used regedit and found the HKEY_CURRENT_USER but did not find the sub Identities. I did click on DEFAULT in the second screen and it asked for a value. Is that where I type {61F54020-4924-11D4-9734-000021F69A59}?

I think the problem is in managing more than one identities.
You can try the identity tab under file menu and from there manage identities. The tab has got a option that asks you which identity to start with when opening Outlook Express.
Thanks
