Outlook 2003 Startup Folder Setting

R

RobDog888

I need to programmatically set the startup folder that Outlook
starts in when it starts up. I dont want to programmatically navigate
to a particular folder, but set the folder in the Tools > Options >
Other tab > Advanced Options... button > Startup in this folder...
to a folder I want. I believe this may be a setting somewhere in the
registry. Anyone have any idea where it may be?

Thanks in advance

I have been researching this and I think the information is stored i
the registry under
HKEY_USER\-user sid-\software\microsoft\windows nt\curren
version\windows messaging subsystem\profiles\-profil
name-\0a0d020000000000c000000000000046\001e0336
but the data is what I need to figure out next. It varies in
character length from 366 to 766. I dont know how to completely
decode it. Its a string key.

Ex. for the Inbox = (all one line, but word wrapped for posting)
001e0336 =
8001010118000000247D2100930000003C7D2100
000000005BECFE84D243C84DA6E200DE13FAC70882800000
0000000038A1BB1005E5101AA1BB08002B2A56C200006D737073742E646C6C00000000004E495441F9BFB80100AA0037D96E000000433A5C446F63756D656E747320616E642053657474696E67735C52524F4D4F5C4C6F63616C2053657474696E67735C4170706C69636174696F6E20446174615C4D6963726F736F66745C4F75746C6F6F6B5C6D61696C626F782E70737400

The second line part is the EntryID of the Inbox folder:
000000005BECFE84D243C84DA6E200DE13FAC70882800000

So I need to decode the rest.
Anyone want to take a shot at it

After the EntryID is the StoreID of the folder.
So now I just need the first line.

First line = ???
8001010118000000247D2100930000003C7D2100

EntryID =
000000005BECFE84D243C84DA6E200DE13FAC70882800000

StoreID =
0000000038A1BB1005E5101AA1BB08002B2A56C200006D737073742E646C6C00000000004E495441F9BFB80100AA0037D96E000000433A5C446F63756D656E747320616E642053657474696E67735C52524F4D4F5C4C6F63616C2053657474696E67735C4170706C69636174696F6E20446174615C4D6963726F736F66745C4F75746C6F6F6B5C6D61696C626F782E7073740
