Hi there,

By mistake I clicked the button "Add" for a word which was
initially rejected by the "built-in" Spell-Check at Windows Mail.

Hence, I want to be able to delete now this "wrongly" added word;
but I need to know where this "dictionary" is located on my system!

So any valid tip would be surely appreciated; thanks in advance...

Regards, Philippe.

Click to expand...

Go to Control Panel>Select 'Classic View' (top left), Folder Options>enable
'show hidden files and folders'.

The user dictionary can be accessed at C:\Users\user
name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\UserDictionary.lex
Open with Wordpad and edit out the word and the space it leaves>save
