Outlook.PRF and Reading Pane

[Stéphane Lamarche]

Hi, i want to automaticaly configure the reading pane of my users.

I found in the registry key :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook\0a0d020000000000c000000000000046

that value:
"01020402"=hex:00,00,00,00,56,01,00,00,8e,01,00,00,8a,02,f4,01,50,00,00,00
if i put it to
"01020402"=hex:01,00,00,00,56,01,00,00,8e,01,00,00,8a,02,f4,01,50,00,00,00
my reading pane is bottom like i want it!

Now, how can i put those options into the Outlook.PRF

[ServiceX]
ReadingPaneLoc=0x0000005001f4028a0000018e00000156000001

[Microsoft Outlook Client]
ReadingPaneLoc=PT_BINARY,0x0402

but it dont work, it write nothing into the registry.

What is the syntax for a PT_BINARY into Outlook.PRF???

AFAIK, .prf files can't set binary registry values.
