  Q256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry

SUMMARY
=======

The "Default archive file" setting for AutoArchive is configurable through the
registry.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When you set AutoArchive on an individual folder by right-clicking on the
folder, selecting Properties, and clicking the AutoArchive tab, the settings are
saved in an IPC (that is, hidden) message within the folder in the information
store, and are not configurable in the registry.

The following changes can be made in the client registry to modify the
AutoArchive file name in the profile. However, if the user has multiple
profiles, you will need to know which one to modify, or modify all of them.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems
that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

2. Locate the following key in the registry:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
  Messaging Subsystem\Profiles

  NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.

3. Open the profile you want to modify.

4. Select the key with a name of 0a0d020000000000c000000000000046.

  Depending on what you need to change, you will need to look at one of the
  two following values:

  001e0324
  001e032c

  The location and file name set in Tools\Options\AutoArchive\Default Archive
  File maps to 001e0324.

  The location and file name set in File\Archive\Archive File maps to 001e032c.

The following is a sample portion of a profile that contains two archive files
set with the above registry strings and values:

  001e032c:REG_SZ: C:\WINNT\Profiles\Username\Personal\Archive.pst
  001e0324:REG_SZ: D:\Myarchive.pst

NOTE: These values may not appear in the registry if initial AutoArchive settings
have not been made.
