Blocked Senders

[shout]

I have a few hundred blocked senders in the OE6 Blocked Senders list. Could
anyone advise me how to clear these entries in one go?
There is no "Select All" and then delete. Just one, and one, and
one......etc. It will take hours to empty.

Thanks for any help.

You could try locating the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{9A6AE039-3C5D-48C6-A496-B7318F8CB599}\Software
\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Block Senders\Mail\Criteria . Obviously,
back up this whole keyset before you modify anything (click on the highest
level you wish to back up, click Registry, Export Registry File and choose
the destination location). Every numeric key in the Criteria key (000, 001,
002 etc) represents one of your blocked senders. Select the ones you wish
to delete and nuke them; the same applies for the News/Criteria key. Not to
be condescending or anything, but always exercise caution when modifying the
Registry. HTH.
