I am about to rebuild a users pc, but they have some custome catagories they
have added and want to save, so how do I save these for the user.

system setup
windows xp
office 2003/outlook 2003
exchange server setup

Please let me know
thanks

They are kept in this registry key;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook
